It is always best to be honest in your CV as the chances are you will get found out , you may even forget what you have put and get caught out by a question.
Just make sure you highlight your best points , e.g accuracy , commitment , good team player etc , and you need to be ready with some examples to back up anything you have put
Hope the interview goes well
Good Luck.

I don't know what a CV is, but you could always say things like "above average communication skills, customer service related skills" etc. There is the risky buisness of making up a company and work you did for that company and then using your friends number to verify the information. But, that's very risky if you really want the job.

It really isn't recommended to lie on your CV!
Just remember that you need to have references, eg, past employer, old teacher etc.
However employers can be quite impressed by what you do in your spare time, so if you write any hobbies that you enjoy that sound good (like if you paint or play an instrument).

Depends on the level of the company you're applying to.
My advice: Nothing.
If your CV isn't impressive then make it impressive the hard way.

NEVER lie on a resume or CV; your lie WILL be uncovered at some point.

Lie about nothing - it would be fraud (a criminal act).
You could petrhaps emphasize some aspects a little more, without lying.

As a former HR Officer I would say - "Nothing" as lying would make you liable to summary dismissal when it was discovered.

Yea, how about "I worked in Black Ops for MI 5"

Lie about your identity, your name, your address, your age, marital status etc etc. That will be very impressive. Then if you get challenged you can prove it wasn't you. Brill eh!
