No, never, too worried about being found out and shown up.
I did have a member of staff, a graduate trainee, who on her application form claimed archaeology as a hobby, based on a one day school field trip to an archaeological site and an hour or so excavating.
She had reckoned that no one inteviewing her would ewver know anything about archaeology and ask her anything about it.
It was unfortunate for her that I was part of the interview panel. My main hobby is archaeology and, at the time I had been invovled in it for 20 years.
A couple of quick questions, meant as settling down questions. What period was the site, what were they excavating, made it clear what she had done and we moved on. She got the job and when we discussed it later, she said she had learnt her lesson an would never risk putting anything on a cv in future that she could not support.
