>I’m exaggerating the amount of skill that I have. Everyone is. I use the right buzzwords on my CV. I inflate the scale of my achievements and the depth of my skillset. I even add tasks and responsibilities to historical jobs that fit your requirements. You’re never going to check, are you? I don't think everyone does this. I certainly have never done this. I've never had an issue getting interviews using an honest accounting of my work experience, and I know as an interviewer I use the candidate's resume as the basis for forming my questions to ask them. I would expect others to do the same. Filling your resume with things you didn't actually do just makes the interview harder.
