Using misleading information to gain an unfair advantage can be difficult to do without being caught. It is important to remember that colleagues are competing for the same job promotion, so it may not be wise to resort to deceitful tactics. If someone resorts to dishonest behavior and lies about qualifications and accomplishments, any progress made as a result of the lie will be short-lived, as other truthful candidates are sure to correct any false perceptions of success. Additionally, employers are likely experienced in spotting untruths and unlikely to take kindly misrepresentation or deliberate exaggeration on applications or resumes.

Make up some extra job skills on your resume that you don't actually possess. Using exaggerated language, inflate the successes you've had in past jobs and emphasize more than is necessary. Furthermore, have another colleague give an overly complimentary and fake reference letter for you if needed. Finally, practice lying and exaggerating during mock interviews with a friend to make sure you come across convincingly when presenting the misinformation in a real-world setting.
