[daffy654]

I have lied by omission.
I was brought up in children's homes,when I left school and started applying for jobs I always put the full address of the children's home on applications(including the name of said home),I soon realised I wasn't getting invited for interviews because of this so started to omit the name and just used the street address.

[PeeBee1]

Aww Daffy, society hey!!

[daffy654]

People can be so judgemental about kids homes,they rarely have any idea why the children are in them and just assume that they are/were unruly etc.In my case I was placed in care(along with my 6 siblings) because my mum was in and out of prison - and when she was at home was a useless waste of space at parenting.Obviously none of this was my fault but I was still shunned by many because of it.I learned to develop a very thick skin at an early age.lol

I have lied (hangs head in shame)

I put down that I got a C in GCSE Maths when I really got a D but I have a C in English and Science and those are the three that Employers like you to have a good grade in so I didn't want maths letting me down

[karma22]

Oh also dates of employment - I might have stretched them out a bit to cover periods of unemployment (only had one short stretch of unemployment so far)

Most people do lie on their CV or in their interview.

I believe isometimes it is absolutely necessary to lie in order to get a job for instance if you have been sacked or if you have been unemployed (depends on reasons but sometimes yeah def best to lie)
