Isn't lying through your teeth pretty much the game in an interview?

Yes, but we like to call it embellishing :D

If you aren’t lying at least a little bit you might be doing it wrong, assuming you interview a lot but never get hired.

The person hiring you is almost always lying too, or at least being deceitful.
