Yes, others have. There was a discussion of that. One person had their wife lie and get hired for a high pressure job which she quit and realized it isn't as glamours as one might think.
If I was desperate, then yes I'd do it....Hoping I was competent enough to handle it daily and learn as much as possible on the side...
I wouldn't lie, but I would embelish the hell out of every little mundane thing I Did at a job to make it seem more important than it was. That had worked well for me, but you gotta walk the talk as well.
I wouldn't lie because it can blow up in your face. If you say things you've done and accomplished I'm sure they will expect to see you perform to that standard. Exaggerating a little bit and lying I think are different. Also, they sometimes do employee verifications and check references about duties so don't lie.
For some people, they have no choice. If they get caught, big deal, they wouldn't of gotten the job if they where truthful anyway.
