- Don't lie on any part of your resume. If you have any open source projects on e.g. github, put the link to your profile on your resume (that helped me a lot).

- Say don't know if you don't know something, that is a legitimate answer

- If you get a programming assignment in your interviewing process, don't overengineer. For example, if assignment asks of you to take some data out from a webpage, don't use regexes, use a html parsing library instead.

- Remember that interview is also a conversation.

- If you decide to reject an offer, don't reject it impolitely, who knows, maybe in few years they will call you again, with a better offer.

Maybe you accidently switched regexes and html parsing around. But using a regular expression to retrieve data from a webpage is not an example of over-engineering. It would be a good example of a quick-and-dirty solution. If someone used them it will probably result in a discussion about the limitations of the approach.
