| Aug 20, 2015 at 17:23 | comment | added | Keith | @JuliaHayward the DWP are awful, and will sanction people for ridiculous made up reasons just to get them off the books, but even they would not stoop to ask someone to lie on a CV (though if you know something this has happened to I know a journalist who might be very interested) | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 15:19 | comment | added | Fiora the Ferret | Also, in the UK at least, the unemployed are sanctioned by the state if they are not seen to be making "sufficient" effort to get a job - measured by number of applications. This incentivises already-desperate people to make clearly hopeless attempts at any company with vacancies, just to satisfy their overseers. | |
| Oct 24, 2013 at 7:21 | comment | added | Keith | @CarlSmith I don't think it's possible to write one, but you approach reading a CV with a view that this person is trying to put themselves in the best light. A totally objective one would come across very self deprecating - you'd assume that the person either really didn't think they could do the job or were trying to be funny. | |

| Oct 23, 2013 at 11:41 | comment | added | Keith | @MichaelKjörling yes, that's what I was getting at. You would report a fake doctor to the police, but for jobs where there aren't legally defined requirements it's not an actual crime to lie on a CV. | |
| Oct 23, 2013 at 11:09 | comment | added | user | If an applicant lies about what is a legal requirement for the position, that should be reported to the relevant authorities. Not some unofficial corporate black list. | |
