How much truth...in resume?

While you are writing a resume how much truth you should write and how much made up story can you tell. Question 2. Do you think that companies too demand more from the particular post they are looking for? Such as this company:- Design background 4 years + A mixed background of corporate and agency. Must be inspirational high level creative thinkers whom can articulate their thoughts. Working across naming, brand architecture and identity projects for brands, so your mark making and conceptual ability must be second to none. On top of this you will need excellent design/craft skills and the confidence to liaise with clients from senior level management and from international backgrounds. Strong team worker with great communication and interaction skills Great sense of aesthetics and creativity, using imagination in order to come up with a number of ideas about a topic. Effectively manage time and multiple projects, set priorities and meet deadlines.

1. You always tell the truth in your resume. You are of course under no obligation "to tell the whole truth". Take it from there. Regarding your second question, a company will always want the job specifications met by an applicant. Sometimes, due to the urgency of filling the position, they might hire a candidate who does meet all the qualifications. Peace and blessings!
2. honestly...a company is looking for a specific person to fill the position they have open. if you bs your way through an interview, how are you going to prove your worth once you get the job? you'll end up getting fired, and a negative mark will be in your work history because all your future jobs will contacting that one job, and will find out that you lied on your resume, thus your future jobs will not want a liar on their team. it's not wrong for a company to post exactly what they want, and be meticulous about the requirements. create a resume that shows off your strengths to their fullest. there are plenty of seminars, or books, to improve resume writing skills. you are selling yourself to the company, and if you sell yourself short by creating facts about yourself to make yourself "worthy" of the position, i honestly wouldn't want a bs'er on my team. i am not trying to deter you from applying for a position, just be honest with your representation of yourself, because it will eventually show once you start the job. the companies have a tendancy of glorifying the positions descriptions also, so go for it, but be honest when you do.
3. I just got paid for Surveys and got $3 dollars for signing up take a look http://www.aifam.com?WTQTd0UbqF
4. Of course you must be HONEST in everything you put in your Resume. Just think what shall be the basis you are founding your relations with your employer(s) and your further clients? Inspiration may be magical, but trustworthy is the ground you have to build on. BUT wouldn't it be possible for you to have an interesting catchy made up story in your letter of intent? After all you have to prove your inspiration, your high level of creativity !?! .
5. Well, it's quite hard to tell the whole truth about yourself in your resume, especially when you really want the job and you're not exactly what they're looking for. But hey, if you're not really qualified for the job, you should accept it. It's better to be hated for what you really are than be loved for something you're not, right? Anyway, if you absolutely, positively want the job, you shouldn't lie in your resume but you should find a way to BE what the company wants, so they'll go after you, not the other way around.
