    None! Lies will merely come back to haunt you.

    Never, if you have to lie then that's obviously not the job for you.

    Not me but a friend I know in his early 20's lied about knowing anything about the concrete business in an interview, they hired him and his fellow workers helped him learn without giving away that he knew nothing about concrete....He owns that multi million dollar company today.....Eventually marrying the bosses daughter helped a little too...lol

    I never had to lie. I haven't filled out a resume in over 26 years.

    Ive never lied on a resume but I usually leave a certain place off of it though because I think I would probably get a bad reference from them.
