Do you mind if I ask what you sort of job you're applying for and what your experience is?

I've reviewed a fair number of resumes, and I can tell in the interview pretty quickly how much the person is bullshitting me with their resume. But it's hard to just say "be honest" without some context for how to do so effectively.

I will say that for the people I interview, usually engineers but really all jobs in a small business, I am absolutely looking for scenarios where you taught yourself something. That shows initiative, dedication, independence, drive, a hunger to always to do better, dissatisfaction with being static and pigeonholed, etc. Whether you're just out of school or you've been in industry for 50 years and regardless of the position, I'll look for and ask about that.

been caught on my bullschitte once in an interview for a job way beyond my qualifications. it was early in my career as i was starting out and i got a little too carried away and used too many colors in painting my resume. got called in for an interview as a corporate secretary and have never bombed so hard in my life.

i can't help but think the interviewer called me in just for teh lelz.
