Don’t lie on your CV – read what happened to Mhairi
I regularly tell clients not to lie on their CV as if they get found out they can lose their jobs. That’s what has happened to Mhairi Creanor, a primary school teacher who was so keen to get a job that she made up false references and forged signatures to get a job. She even made phone calls, pretending to be an old employer and giving herself a very positive reference. This was not once, but 4 times in all.
What let her down was the number of spelling mistakes in her references.
This has led not to being struck off the teaching register for 12 months.
