22 Harsh Realities You Learn After Graduating University

18. Curriculum Vitae!

CV The course of your life! That's what it means. But we actually have the real original meaning from a recent discovery of latin literature near Hadrian's Wall. Curriculum Vitae actually means, "Lie! Lie To Strangers!". Funny language, latin. Your CV is meant to be a summary of your skills and work experiences, wrapped up in a little bow of what team sports you take part in and how you love to be a team player. It's bull of the highest order, you know it and we know it. You may have heard it is illegal to lie on your CV. This is true, but it is illegal in the way that loving another man in Texas is illegal, it's stupid and you probably won't get shot for it (probably, it is Texas after all). Bone who you want, kids. As long as they bone you right back. You only worked for five months and three weeks at that Banana Stand on Laguna Beach? Screw it! Put six months! You took 12 GCSE's, but only passed 11? Literally nobody has ever cared, ever. Put you have 12 GCSE's, you sat the damn exam didn't you? Whether you passed or failed, you still have that information in your head! Take artistic license with the truth, because everyone is doing it. Make up skills, activities and why you did that one thing that one time. One thing to remember about your CV though...
