Recruitment

I am going to a graduate recruitment fair today. It's one of those one-day events where companies offer themselves to new graduates, and graduates hope to find a decent job with a decent income. My last 2 million job applications haven't been a success, so I am going along too. There are also workshops where you can make your CV better, as they say. I am still not used to that it is fairly common over here to lie on your CV, or exaggerate, and I can't do it. But the downside of it is that employers tend to look at CVs with a certain scepticism, and who can blame them? My CV is awesome, and that's probably why it doesn't help, I don't know.
