A man has confessed to stealing from his previous employers on his resume and calls his old jobs "boring".

A man has confessed to stealing from his previous employers on his resume and calls his old jobs "boring".

Benedict Le Gauche - which is not his real name - described his philosophy degree as "pointless" and calls his previous positions "boring and drudgerous and disheartening" in an attempt to secure work through being brutally honest.

The 28-year-old man also added his previous jobs saw him peddling "disastrous horses***" and stealing ginger biscuits, as well as revealing he draws pictures of his friends which he presents to them as birthday presents.

He said: "What I put on the CV is basically the truth.

"I figured if someone sees it and sees some sort of potential in me then I might get something better than what I would have done with a conventional CV."
