An interesting article from the Chartered Management Institute’s website reveals a checklist for the potential interviewer.

According to Wales Online, a woman made £1,000 a month on eBay selling watches, sunglasses and other goods stolen from Swansea’s Debenhams store by her husband who was a security man there.

The Courier reports that an elderly crook admitted being responsible for shoplifting offences over several months along with his 50-year-old daughter.
According to a police source, their appearance was the ‘perfect cover’ as they ‘looked like they were about to set off on a Saga holiday.’

HR Magazine reports that nearly two-thirds (63%) of CVs contain lies, a rise of 15% in the past decade, according to an analysis of 3,000 CVs.

A report found 12% of candidates inflated their job titles in an attempt to climb the career ladder, replacing titles such as ‘graduate’ or ‘intern’ with ‘manager’ or ‘supervisor’.

Children as young as 10 have been arrested for shoplifting in Glasgow stores, according to the Evening Times.

Almost 500 youngsters have been nabbed by city cops in the past year. Of those, 303 were aged between 11 and 15 and, most shockingly, six schoolchildren – aged just 10-years-old – were linked to the crimes.
