If you feel like you have the ability to do the job ,why not lie a little bit to get your foot in the door??
just stretch the truth .

Lying on resumes is something nearly everyone does.

I had to take Business Writing my junior year in college. We literally spent 4 weeks on just a resume. We were taught "tricks" to twist facts to exaggerate. A good example would be on GPA. If your cumulative GPA is 3.0 but your major GPA is 3.5, only list your major GPA. For dates of work, always list your date of hire instead of date started and list your date of termination as the last day your paycheck is processed. This will normally squeeze out another month.
On another note, I spoke to someone I know who works in human resources a while ago. He brought up the point that it's very hard for them to check. A former employer should not give any information besides dates worked. If you can bullshit your skills and believe you'll be able to "fake" your abilities once you start, why not do it?

I lie like crazy every time I get a job. If it's something you can't and wouldn't be asked to prove, then do it.

You do what you have to do to get your foot in the door.

Pffftt. If I lied anymore I could legally change my name to "rug".

They're both very related actually. It's all smoke and mirrors to "get in" one way or another.

[Triple-s]

I wouldn't lie on my resume, because I apply for professional jobs. But if its for a small job lying probably wont do anything.

I said that I was a red belt on sherdog. Didn't get me the job though.
