Oh dear .. lying on your CV, never a good idea on national TV!

For those Apprentice lovers I am sure you watched Lee McQueen, Recruitment Sales Manager, squirm last night as he was interviewed and caught out for telling a porky on his CV. Lee's CV was scrutinised closely by his interviewers who were unimpressed by its contents – one picked up on his spelling of 'tommorrow', 'ambtion', and 'recoinged', whilst the other had confirmation that he didn’t spend 2 years @ university, but just 4 months!

The other classic that Lee pulled out of the bag was his impression of a dinosaur, which he was asked to do by property tycoon Paul Kemsley. Yes it was extremely uncomfortable to watch as he performed his famous reverse pterodactyl impression. Come on Lee, you work in Recruitment – you must have interviewed hundreds of candidates – you could have done a lot better. That said, it was great TV and he is through to the final.

Here's a handy hint for Lee, who's going to be in more need of a CV than ever before - press 'F7' for handy spell check!

My pet hate is receiving a CV with spelling mistakes in it, especially when I was recruiting for editorial staff!
