Have you lied on your CV?

Is it ever worth lying on your CV? And what happens if you get caught?

After a senior state department official in the Trump administration was accused of faking a cover of Time magazine with her face on it, we ask where you draw the line while ensuring your rΓ©sumΓ© stands out. We hear from Apprentice winner Lee McQueen, who was caught out on national television. He now runs a business that urges recruiters to look beyond the CV. And Kate Grussing, whose company headhunts for the most high-profile jobs in the world. We also investigate how new technology helps scan a million rΓ©sumΓ©s a second. Also in the programme, India's GDP figures show that the country's economic growth rate has halved in just three years. What's behind it? Plus - the best - and the worst - of Black Friday.
