Australian jobseekers have been caught lying on their CVs when applying for a job, according to a new recruitment survey which reveals that more than two in three (68%) hiring managers have eliminated a job candidate from consideration after discovering dishonest or exaggerated information on their CV.

The ICT industry continues to lead the way in job advertising, with a newly published report revealing the sector — along with Trades & Services and the Healthcare & Medical industries — offered the most job opportunities in August.

Job vacancies in the IT Industry in Australia increased 12% in the past month and 8% over the past year, rising to 7471 total job vacancies – with the IT sector the highest paid industry, according to a new report from one IT recruitment firm.
