I think every industry, even off the web has the same problem with people and what they say their experience is. Lying on a resume, or rather, stretching the truth on a resume seems to be commonplace.

When resumes are submitted into headhunters, generally the person is brough in for an interview, or a phone interview, but rarely are their skills tested (I've never fudged a resume, and I've never been tested on what i say I know, so I dont know if I am the exception or the rule)

When a person fills in the "admission form" do they list skillsets, can the questions be asked in such a way that they have to somewhat prove their knowledge? Rather than asking what software apps you know, and have it be a pick list, ask pointed questions in what work ahve you done.. Describe what you've done.

What market are you gearing towards? Web Design? Database?
