Hey Douglas, it's not worth it. Work hard and fill in the skill gaps so a lie isn't needed. Thanks!

Lying on your resume is not a good idea, even if it's for your dream job. There are several reasons why you should not lie on your resume:
Risk of getting caught: Employers may perform background checks or contact your references to verify your qualifications. If they find out that you have lied, it could result in your job offer being rescinded or you being fired later on.
Ethical concerns: Lying on your resume is dishonest and unethical. It can damage your professional reputation and can result in long-term consequences.
Undermining your ability to do the job: If you lie about your qualifications, you may be hired for a job that you are not qualified for, which can ultimately undermine your ability to perform the job successfully.
Legal consequences: In some cases, lying on your resume can have legal consequences, especially if the lie involves misrepresenting your education or credentials.
Instead of lying on your resume, it's important to focus on highlighting your strengths and achievements that are relevant to the job. If there are gaps in your qualifications or experience, be honest about them and emphasize your willingness to learn and grow in the position. Remember that employers value honesty and integrity, and being truthful on your resume can ultimately help you build a successful career.
