The only thing I've exaggerated about is saying I'm self-employed as a freelance artist. I've actually only sold 2 paintings, almost 3 but I blew it. I know I could sell more paintings if I tried (I've won awards and people are always asking me to draw/paint things for them), so I claimed to be a freelance artist so the company would know that I'm creative.
Is it normal to embellish/lie on your resume?
