One in four CV's are fake!:-

Employers need to be wary when they employ people on the basis of their impressive cirriculum vitae, as one in four people lie about their CV, according to a study.

The average jobseeker tells three lies but some employees admitted making up more than half their career history, reports the Telegraph.

A report this month from The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development highlights the problem. It says nearly a quarter of companies admitted not always taking up candidates' references and a similar percentage routinely failed to check absenteeism records or qualifications.

Research by Mori in 2001 showed that 7.5 million of Britain's 25.3 million workers had misled potential employers. The figure covered all ages and management levels. The institute puts the cost to employers at 1 billion pounds. (ANI)
