Lie, Lie and be confident when you Lie.

Getting inside is the hardest part, once you get in put in work.

This one dude said that he was bilingual in French on his resume while interviewing at my job
Three months after getting hired, he got called on to work the Quebec accounts
He told me he didn't really know French...
They hated him

np. my current gig is just to help me pay off accummulated tuition and provide some financial services experience before I graduate. Debt free now (unless I transfer) so I cant complain
My resume has landed me great interviews though. Ford Canada Head Office, RBC Capital Markets, CIBC World Markets, Microsoft Canada, the list goes on.
It's also important to list skills and interests that may be relevant to the job. It's important to know how to tailor a resume to your job position.
*---* For example, even saying that your major is Accounting instead of Corporate Finance can ward off potential finance employees because they may think your not there to stay or youre just trying your luck.
If you're working in pharmaceuticals there's no use in saying that you have experience using Bloomberg or know Java language. The more concise and filtered the better.
I only have 2 work experiences, three skills, 2 extracurriculars/volunteers, 2 interests and then my education at the top. Each work experience or extracurricular has 2,3 points explaining my responsibilities. I can put up an example of my resume. shyts clean.

heres the best tip start your own business
Perhaps my best work 
Notes:
- Please ignore the messed up capitalization (Debt and Equity) in the last paragraph
- I left some info in there to show you how I personally format my letterhead and what not
- Make sure your letterhead and font/overall theme in the cover letter is the same as it was in the Resume/Transcript (if required)
- Don't only focus on skills. Some jobs require personality traits as well, for instance in I-Banking youre required to work 80 hour weeks. I took a risk and listed my experience working factory graveyard shifts to show them that I really had that drive and propensity to work long, dreadful shifts in fast paced environments without any complaining (among other things).
I really wanted that job

Truth be told breh, I dont think there are many repercussions for doing so. It can bite you in the ass heavily during a background check but thats really it. I heard theyre costly though so often companies dont perform them.
If you know the ins and outs of the job enough to answer the interviewers who drill you, down to what is actually done in the office or on site then it could work.
