It is true that most CVS are embellished. Mine is 80% fiction and changed so much I’ve forgotten what I’ve actually done and when employment wise.
Do people still put “I’m a team player and work well in groups?”
They say you’ve got 5 seconds to grab a future employees interest.
Something about all this concern with writing a cv reminds me of the book / movie, "Catch me if you can"
when i was looking for work, decades ago, i would always tweak my cv according to the job i was applying for.,
assumed anyone that really wanted the job would do the same

I can just picture Richard tweaking his CV with a quill pen on parchment.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

And constantly mentioning Siam and his biking adventures. That’ll take up two pages.
So back on topic. I just remembered that a guy I met years ago admitted he lies on his CV and he’s an aeronautical engineer of some standing.
I think it’s self doubt that makes people do it.
