Don't lie on the CV
Like the guy that applied for a job at our place to the head of HR, Svetlana, claiming he spoke Russian
^_^

We hired a bloke originally from Nigeria who'd studied in Leningrad. I must admit I did get a guy who spoke a bit of Russian having worked there and married a Russian girl to try out a few words. He "passed" and was an excellent guy to have in the team

AH!
No, I never lie, I do make things sound better than they might actually be though.
"I'm responsible for responding to customer feedback and concerns" Well, the manager sometimes asks me what I would do.
"I carry out induction procedures with new colleagues" I show them how to work the till and where the kitchen is.
"I give excellent customer service" Sometimes. :-)
