Seriously - what happens if in a year you've got your dream job, a colleague joins here and realises you're you, happens to mention the really hillarious thing he found out, and next you know, you're out for gross misconduct.

Embellishing your resume to "talk up" a job is not illegal, hell most interviewers expect it. I've interviewed peole and hired for a range of positions, and I (and everyone else) always ask about the resume items such as what specifically was the work, how many people reported to you, etc. I want people to be able to embellish a little. If they aren't savvy enough to sell me on their experience (ie themselves) they damn sure won't be savvy enough to sell their ideas to subordinates or sell products to customers. I think that photography example was spot on and exactly the type of creative , industrious thing I look for in a candidate. You were in a tough spot but you made the best of it . Very nice.
