Would you ever lie on your resume?

Maybe it's just a few 'white lies' or just 'stretching the truth' a little bit...
Maybe you are applying for the job you've always wanted, and you know that companies do not always check the references and you are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job.

What do you think, is it ethical? is it worth taking the risk?

I'm going to be the first one to reply to the topic :-)

Here in Spain we have a few examples of creativity when it comes to CV writing.Take José Luís Roldán, for example, a master of deception, who fabricated a degree in Business Administration and a Master in Economics. He was released from prison a few days ago, by the way, so maybe crime pays, after all?

Anyway, I think that we should never lie in principle - although I have no objections to white lies... but lying on one's resume is out of the question for me.
