- Technical ability. Sometimes gets found out, other times people slip through the cracks.
- Work history (which gets found out when a company does a background check)
- Your past (same as above)

Every resume is embellished, whether or not that is lying depends on your point of view.

>work history
this is what everyone worries about getting caught lying about, but in actuality, at least in my state, prospective employers are only allowed to ask two things of a work reference:
>when you worked there (confirm dates)
>if you're eligible for rehire
Basically everything else, from position held to duties assigned, to accolades received, is fair game. And everyone else is lying, so you had better be, too.
Of course don't say you can do something you cannot, this is basic.
