On one recent job application the company hired an external CV validation service.
They got in touch to ask me for a whole bunch of stuff about my education and past experience. For the education piece I told them to 'just mark me down as having no verifiable education and being illiterate' - they thought it was a joke but I insisted they do it.
They did. The company that offered me the position thought it was funny and hired me anyway.
