Yahoo CEO lied on his CV
Discussion
Coul we perhaps creat a thread where those who have also lied on their CVs could put their names. Better yet, to limit bandwidth, just those who haven't lied.
I used to have the occasional stint on a recruiting panal. We used to pick out obvious and proveable lies and then, if we decided we didn't like the person, one of us would ask about the lie. It lightened the day.

or use it as a quick and easy 'you're sacked - gross misconduct' card if they don't work out. Niiiiice and easy! saves all the rigmarole surrounding getting rid of people.I used to have the occasional stint on a recruiting panal.

Yes it's the daily mail so it must be correct and thoroughly fact checked.
CEOs don't upload their CVs onto Monster.com, and indeed the guy in question says he never even submitted a CV. CEOs don't get hired on the basis of a CV. But why let that get in the way of a thread title worthy of The Sun?
And what the hell does any of it have to do with him not resigning? Why should he? The only question is whether or not he does the job well, who gives a toss what degree he has or hasn't got, it has no relevance when hiring a CEO.

Indeed, the thread title is inaccurate and possibly even libellous. CEOs don't upload their CVs onto Monster.com, and indeed the guy in question says he never even submitted a CV. CEOs don't get hired on the basis of a CV. But why let that get in the way of a thread title worthy of The Sun?

The article linked doesn't state that the degree appeared on his CV, nor that the CEO himself ever actually claimed he had one, just that the company (and his previous one) had filed documents that included the error.

I think that that's possibly the most inaccurate post we've had on here in months.CEOs don't upload their CVs onto Monster.com, and indeed the guy in question says he never even submitted a CV. CEOs don't get hired on the basis of a CV. But why let that get in the way of a thread title worthy of The Sun?

As I mentioned on another thread, if I found that someone had lied on their CV, I'd want them escorted out of the building immediately, and they could then expect their possessions to follow in a bin bag.And I've never lied on a CV. Why would I?

I think that the general reason would be that someone has no morals, didn't want to put in the effort to get the required qualifications, and doesn't care about cheating someone who is more capable and better qualified out of a job.And I've never lied on a CV. Why would I?
Describin it as "fibbing" is like saying that you go scrumping for people's wallets, or that you have a penchant for a bit of gentle mugging.
