No, it's just not a good policy.

I have been fortunate to not have to look for a job for many years, but I see lots of resumes and job applications and MANY people lie or stretch the truth. It's really too bad, because we find out and of course then don't hire them. The ironic thing is, in most cases we would have been interested in the person with the information that was really true about them (job title for example). It may sound hokey, but honesty really is the best policy. For one thing you can hold your head up high, for another thing you don't have to face the embarrassment when you're found out and confronted, nor do you have to try to remember who you told which lie to so you keep your stories straight.

You could work for 30 years for a company.
If they then find out you lied on your resume, they could fire you and deny you your pension.
Never lie on a resume.

No. Aside from being a basically honest person, it's not a good idea from a pragmatic stand. If they find out, they have grounds to fire you.

Don't lie in writing. It will always come back to bite you on the bottom.
I'm just being honest here!

Hell no! I want to be hired for my acutally abilities so I can go in and prove myself.
