While I respect the virtue of selling yourself, I think the logic of "everyone is doing it" has been used by many people to do many bad things. I for one hold myself to a far higher standard than this, and I think I'd be far less happy in general if I let my dignity slip like this.

Besides, it's a losing proposition: if you lie to get a job at a place that won't hire people with honest resumes, you end up working with a bunch of lying mercenaries for a company with unreasonable expectations. Even if you had no morals, it's against your interests.

While lying on your resume is often defended as: “Everyone does it, employers expects it”, I don’t think it’s nearly as common as people think. It may be market/country specific, but simply assuming that it’s something you do is idiotic.

I read something recently that said if you feel like you're "getting away with it" then you're probably doing something wrong.
