Dear co-vocalisters,

I think this is a bit (OK, 1 Gigabyte) exaggerated!
Furthermore: I once saw a curriculum from a singer with a few lies in it and read later the reaction of an agent who found out the truth: it made clear to me, that you can make yourself look a bit better by polishing your curriculum, but getting exposed as a liar will make you look very ugly!
I think there is somewhere a border between presenting the truth in a nice way, playing the pr game etc., and deceiving people. Passing this border - if your morals let you - is a dangerous thing. Where this border lies, is also depending on the situation: a press release, not even written by yourself, will have a different relation to the truth than an application.
The first pre-war German chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, had found a special way to cross this border all the time. His tactique was, to give an interview first, in which he would say something he wanted, but was not allowed to say, than, once this was published, he would deny it.
If you don't have Adenauer's creativity, it might be better to stay on the safe side of the truth border.
Best greetings,
Dre
