Questions to ask a company during a job interview

At least in the UK I'm pretty sure that lying on your CV is fraud by false representation [1]. CIFAS (UK fraud prevention service) produced a suitably scary leaflet [2] to try to discourage recent grads from doing this.

I thought they were exaggerating about things like jail time for lying on a CV but it has happened in the UK - six months for saying she had 2 A-levels!

I wonder whether any companies writer their ads in such a way that it could be construed as fraud, when it turns out to be entirely different.

Normally they probably get around with:

And any other duties, bla, bla, bla

So it's hard to see a shift in the onesidedness of the relationship

What about what they say on the interview? Verbal contracts are valid in some circumstances ... Record the interview ... :)
