    If you do lie, that can lead to your dismissal should they find out. Is it worth risking your job over?.

    It's usually worth it.

    I don't think 1 month will mean your CV isn't looked at (worth sending in).

    I would maybe leave dates off - eg started in June (even if 28th June) and send in.

    Good luck
    This is what I do!

    Yeah I have 4 years admin voluntary work experience but this application clearly states paid experience. Im going to apply anyway.
    I'd apply, and if the voluntary work is office experience I'd list it anyway. Experience is experience, IMO.
