Ever lied about your work experience? For example, if you are a fresh graduate and have 0 years of formal work experience and most employers are looking for at least 2 years of work experience, would you "insert" a few years into your resume to land that job?

Cheating on a resume is never a good idea, and is very easy to catch when followed up on.
Stress your good qualities and skills, and not a potential workplace hazard like lying or being irresponsible.

No, I wouldn't. It is to protect yourself and your potential employer..Imagine..getting a job that you were underqualified for and you lied on your resume. Even, if they did not verify..your work experience..which is highly unlikely...you would be overwhelmed! You might be fired if you cannot work at a high level that they would expect since you lied on your resume.
However, I do think it is okay to change things slightly, but not lie. I think it is okay to change the job title a little if you did indeed have more responsiblity than the title shows.

No. Because when they verify some of the stuff you put in your resume you're basically are screwed and will never be able to apply for a job in that company again. Also if you use a head hunter to help you get a job that head hunter is gonna get screwed along with you.

Never lied on a resume. If you do or embelish on one, and they catch you, it will not be a good situation. Always be honest on a resume. You might just get the job without needing to lie.

In college I delivered airline tickets to business's for a local travel agency. Technically I was a delivery boy. On my resume I was a corporate client contact. Not a lie, I just souped it up a bit. So do what you have to do to make yourself look better.
