I have noticed an unusual percentage of professional CVs\/work histories\/resumes on LinkedIn (specifically) that have some fairly blatant errors in them.<\/p>\n
For example, I have seen people list multiple full-time jobs that they could not have had at the same time (eg, both at one employer and also at the company that\u00a0acquired\u00a0their old employer).<\/p>\n
