If employers would evolve into the 21st century and stop assuming that a stupid piece of paper reveals everything about a person and those of us who are shy or lack confidence or social skills or lack experience would be bad at a job then maybe people wouldn't have to stoop to such lows to survive.
Until these employers change, I won't. If I have to con my way to the top then so be it. Survival is all that matters to me.

No, I can tell a good faked resume too. The thing is, they set off red flags. I help others write their resumes, and there are ways to make it sound good without outright lying, it's all about the words that you use. But outright lying about working somewhere you didn't or having a job that you didn't, it will get found out.
Definitely, I will say there are ways to be creative and wordsmith a resume to make it sound really good (I do this regularly for friends) but it's not an outright lie, it's just a matter of semantics. But if you push it too far, it will raise red flags.
Also, if an employer hires you then finds out you lied on your resume/application, they can then fire you with cause.
