Or resumee (sic) or whatever the hell you call it "Stateside".

Is it 100% honest?

What lies do you have on it?

Doesn't everyone lie on their CV's??

Personally, I had a six month career break after my youngest was born but a lot of employers don't like that, so I've covered it up by extending my employment dates at the previous job (since they went bankrupt and no longer exist!).

What does "CV" stand for?

Actually, my resume is 100% honest, which may explain the problem I'm having now. I'm trying to look for another job, but am not getting many hits. I've blamed it on Michigan's bad economy, and us being the worst off of all the 50 states right now.

I've only had 1 job since graduating from college, so I could only lie about that. I do say that I am fluent in Spanish, when in reality all I could do is ask what your name is. I've also said I am knowledgeable in programming languages, etc...when in reality I haven't programmed in probably 2 years, so I would need to pick it back up.

Okay, I lied earlier about lying on my resume. I do lie on it, and that ain't no lie.

And now, here it is...your moment of Carlin (12/3/2008)

Violent American movies like Die Hard, Terminator, and Lethal Weapon do very well in places like Canada, Japan, and Europe. Very well. Yet these countries do not have nearly the violence of the United States. In 1989, in all of Japan, with a population of 150 million, there were 754 murders. In New York City that year, with a population of only 7.5 million, there were 2,300. It's bred in the bone. Movies and television don't make you violent; all they do is channel the violence more creatively.

I think it's Latin......"Curriculum Vitae"

The Half Boy

I think my CV is pretty honest. There are a couple of jobs that I don't put on there, because they were so inconsequential as to not really matter.

My personal statement for University Application was a whole other matter there. I lied my back teeth off, but only with stuff I knew I could back up. For instance, I said I run a small record company helping local bands record, when in actual fact the only thing I've ever recorded is myself. But I know enough to bullshit my way through it.

I have never had a resume as of yet. I have only had one job in my life and I have been there six years. I suppose when I get my Bachelors Degree in a year and a half it shouldn't be too hard then.

I will be drawing mine up shortly, since I've just finished University. Needless to say there will definatly be some truth bending in there.

Don't lie on your CV, employers see right through it. I know it took me over a year to get a job and after a 6 months of looking I asked a recruiter why I was having so many problems and he told me my CV was full of shit and it was so when they interviewed me and called me on it they decided I wasn't worth the risk.

If its a Uni application DO NOT LIE ON IT UNLESS YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE AN INTERVIEW. Seriously when I got interviewed for my PGCE is was a brutal interview, they pick your CV to bits.

My CV is pretty good now.

Dr. Giganto

My resume is 100% accurate and factual. I'm generally not a liar, and when I do lie, I'm not good at it. If I ever got caught in a lie on a job interview, I wouldn't be able to bullshit through it
