Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common for job applicants to include false information in their CV, according to the Institute of Personnel and Development.

Most companies do not check the information contained in CVs, and data protection laws prevent them from seeking confirmation of some details. However, growing levels of CV abuse are likely to encourage employers to check CVs more carefully.
