Have you ever lied in your CV when applying for job? Well consider yourself lucky if you have and have not get caught.
Rhiannon MacKay Plymouth, Devon, UK has been caught lying on her CV where she claimed that she has two A-Levels and she even got the job and worked for one year before getting busted! According to the Daily Mail:
Rhiannon Mackay, 29, wrongly claimed to have two A-levels when she applied for a £23,000-a year-role as a ‘capital projects administrator’.
Ms McKay submitted a resume claiming she had two grade Bs for the job which required all applicants to have at least two A-levels.
Ms Mackay, who was unemployed, was then shortlisted and asked to provide a reference from her previous employer, the Royal Navy.
She then forged the letter of recommendation and signed it using the name of her boyfriend, a chief petty officer.
She beat several other candidates in a lengthy interview process and was awarded the job, which she held for over a year.
But suspicions were raised about her performance and she admitted lying on her CV when challenged by her bosses.

It’s bad enough to get fired from a job after her employer found out she’s not performing at work and has been lying on her CV along, but the situation got worse when she found herself jailed for 24 weeks which equals to 6 months!
Well, I hope she learns her lesson – though quite in a hard way. But then if she’s been performing at her work, then no one will know that she’s been lying on her CV right? Too bad, Miss Mackay.
