The current system of job seeking often requires to lie on resume. It is even being highly recommended by people that coach people for job seeking, although with some moderation of course.

Remember: It’s not just a fact of, what’s going to get me the result in this particular interaction. It’s a question of, what type of person do you want to be?
Lying on your resume, within reason, is probably a good strategy for getting the job. It’s not a good strategy for life.
it really depends on what
padding the years of experience for a specific skill from 4 to 7… not really a big deal in my opinion. someone’s 4 years could be more valuable than another’s 7
if you’re making up whole degrees or careers… then it becomes impractical because you’ll have to walk the walk. if you’re frank abagnale, maybe you can do it. for us regular folk it’d be hard to convince someone who knows what they’re doing that you know what you’re doing when you actually don’t
If one person’s 4 years can be more valuable than another person’s 7, then considering the number of years is a waste of time anyway.
Like if you’re applying to a company with a hard limit of minimum 5 years’ experience, and you have 4 that you think qualifies you, and the company isnt willing to consider you because of it, that’s not a company you want to work for.
