Some CV tips from a bit of time hiring:
Make sure that page one is a clear table of skills, your CV will be fed into a CRM/ATS that recruiters use to search from - "C# AND Jira AND Javascript", for instance.
Core skills, Web, Mobile, DevOps, for example, should all be rows within that table. Don't forget soft skills... Did you manage a team or delegate work at any time? Add it.
Make sure you've got your ZIP/postcode right at the top, otherwise you're invisible to systems that use a geographic search.
Having public code examples (GitHub, BitBucket et al.) help get your foot in the door. If you've got a portfolio, stick a link on there.
And I know what you're getting at with lying on your CV, but you need to believe you're the best candidate and consider how your modest CV looks, confidence goes a long way.
