I was shown an "interesting" CV this morning. Don't know what job this lady was applying for but her CV is brutally honest. If her CV is anything to be go by, she is quite proud to have started her career as a professional escort having completed a course on the Kama Sutra in Thailand! Having held jobs in modeling agencies, lap dancing in nightclubs as well as worked in a "legal brothel" – she also lists her less exotic employments options in the insurance industry that she seems to have been trying to move into. She has left all these jobs because of "unwanted sexual harassment", "personal issues". I do feel a bit sorry for her – she seems to be trying to change careers. I have one piece of advice, lady – if you want to be taken seriously – don't flaunt your exotica in people's faces. Your employers are only human.

Hi,
yes,, when writing a CV, honesty is the stupidest policy.
though I hate one thing when writing a CV.
Your Hobbies??
my hobbies are none of their buiseness. seriously, what has my hobbies got to do with the employer?
I am honest when I write my CV, but of course has nothing to do with that one.
In her case...due to her skills... I'd just have said I had not worked before, or that I was the receptionist or the cleaning lady in those night clubs.... you never know if someone recognizes you and spoils your new job... at least you gave a true clue...
but she was too honest for her background...
Can that be a joke? I mean a not so good friend that has put a picture of her in that made up CV?
Send me the CV!
Sorry Anonymous, I've deleted it. Don't keep these around.
