Default exaggerating your CV

never something ive thought of till today.Taking on an apprentice at work so the usual CVs come in and obviously some folk embellish the truth a little to get ahead.Anyone ever actually done it and got away with it or got caught?Reason i ask is one of the cvs this morning was a classic.Bearing in mind he was applying for an apprentice greenkeeping position,hard work,low pay etc.from 91-93 he served in the gambian police force,then the army as an officer with best in class officer training till 94,was trained in counter terrorism by the UN at the same time in ankara turkey,served in the UN war crimes unit in yugoslavia in 95,peacekeeper in east timor in 2000,has a law degree taught agricultural science when he came to this country,left to do computer programming and is currently a financial advisor thats a hell of a cv to make up dont you think.

I'd employ him.

I mean - he can keep people off the grass without a problem - Land Mines are a great deterrent!

Had a CV recently (from 2 different agencies) that had as a bullet point "Kill Skills"
I'm not sure if he was boasting or just thick
