Fake it to you make it is actually a real thing. Though you actually have to be able to make it. You can overstate qualifications and experience but not competence. I don't lie about anything but i've definitely known people who have lied in order to get hired who have gone on to perform extremely well.

Bonus points when they've somehow talked there way all the way onsite, wasting 10+ hours of engineering time, and 48/72+ hours of their own time, before it's discovered that they can't in fact write code at all in any language. (I mean like 1 variable for-loop pseudocode, think fizzbuzz except without any conditional logic, even easier). People absolutely embellish and get away with it.
