A lie could help you get a job but it won’t help you secure a future because let’s say you listed a particular degree or skill and when it comes to executing work related to the skill and you fail then your recruiters will start a verification. When they conduct verification and it turns out that you lied about your skill or degree then your image is tainted forever. So, no matter what you do, do not lie on your resume.

Brand yourself: Why does the world look at brands differently? It is because of the way people sell them and build a compelling story to it. In the same way, understand that for the job you apply there are hundreds of other contestants and to have an edge over them is to brand yourself. How will this work? Write a compelling personal story of yourself with your skills, achievements and results.

Market your achievements for maximum impact: When a recruiter takes a glance at a resume, it takes just about 15 seconds for them to be impressed by it. In 15 seconds there is no possibility that they can read the whole resume. This calls for highlighting achievements, experience and expertise. Draw the attention of the recruiters to that section that tells just about everything they need to know about you in 15 seconds and that section is your experience, expertise, achievements, skills and results. Learn to highlight and market these qualities because they will secure you that job.
