Good luck. What are you going to do when they expect you to actually work in a team?

Just try to cope with it.


I hope it works out for you. Maybe it would be helpful to look up some information on being a good team player. Have you worked in many teams before?

can you please add me on skype?

Care should be taken as the interviewer is going to ask questions from your CV, how easy do you think it could be answering difficult questions from an already less honest CV?

It is the only way to get a job.

it isn't by any means the only way to get a job, with everything you say, an interviewer may want you to be able to demonstrate and give examples to prove your skills. It is often a major task to uphold to continue to lie in front of an interview, a great skill in of itself.

Being on the ASD spectrum myself, I cannot lie on a CV nor in front of an interviewer without feeling physically sick to my stomach :(

this your first time so you wouldn't know exactly for certian telling the trouth wouldn't get an interview. You are extremely lucky gaining an interview in your CVs current draft.

If I can give an advice, if anyone is going to lie on a CV, do it only if you have no other choices, if you have not other alternatives and that you really need to the job.
First, make sure you believe your own lie, and have a friend or someone you know who can backup that lie in case they check.
I once applied for a secretary job (3 month contract) and I put on my CV the four languages I speak (French, English, Spanish and Greek), and the employer decided to hire me, and told me the the next day to come back to sign my work contract. I showed and he was in his office with another man (who was a Greek owner of restaurant) and that man started speaking to me in Greek, luckily I was able to answer and have a conversation.
Just saying, the employer simply wanted to know I wasn't lying.
But he didn't see the real lie on the CV where I said I had worked previously in an office, what I have never done before.
Sadly I go fired after 2 months for my bad social skills.
