At least in the UK I'm pretty sure that lying on your CV is fraud by false representation [1]. CIFAS (UK fraud prevention service) produced a suitably scary leaflet [2] to try to discourage recent grads from doing this.

- arethuza 7y agoI thought they were exaggerating about things like jail time for lying on a CV but it has happened in the UK - six months for saying she had 2 A-levels! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1260901/Woman-lied-CV-A-Levels-bag-NHS-job-jailed.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1260901/Woman-lied-...
- reallydontask 7y agoI wonder whether any companies writer their ads in such a way that it could be construed as fraud, when it turns out to be entirely different. Normally they probably get around with: And any other duties, bla, bla, bla So it's hard to see a shift in the onesidedness of the relationship What about what they say on the interview? Verbal contracts are valid in some circumstances ... Record the interview ... :)
