Call for testimonials. Have you ever lied on your resume or about your qualifications?

According to a survey conducted by the Preply platform, 10% of French people admit to having already invented a professional experience from scratch and 45% admit to having already lied on their CV.

Have you ever exaggerated or invented experiences or qualifications to get a job, an internship, or something else? If so, in what context and why? What was it about?

On the contrary, have you ever hidden something on your resume or in a job interview? Did this lie (including by omission) have any consequences? If so, what are they?
