Resume no-no No. 1: Embellishments

CBS News reports on some whopping lies on resumes:
An applicant who claimed to be the former CEO of the company looking to fill the position.
Someone claiming fluency in two languages, one of which was pig Latin.
The person who wrote "whorehouse" instead of "warehouse" when listing work history.
The applicant who began a cover letter with "Hey you."
Someone claiming to be a Nobel Prize winner.
The job-seeker who said he worked in a jail when he actually served time in that facility.
Imagine that.
