Everything I mentioned is immoral. If anything I or OP mentioned is punishable, then it all should.

The system of hiring is set up in such a way that employers and employees are encouraged to act immorally to get the best result. It’s not any individual’s fault that the system is broken, it just grew that way.

And everyone has the same ability to lie on resumes. When job hunting you should use every advantage you can get.

That being said, making outright lies may get you the first screening, most interviewers can smell too much bullshit.
