I would say never lie in your CV. Always be honest. Talk about the experiences you have and what you can do.

My friend lied on his CV when he applied to Morrisons saying he'd got 12A*s at GCSE and 3A* predicted at A-Level when he wasn't even close to these grades. He ended up getting the job.
I'm not saying you should be lying, but we can basically tell who checks this information up and who doesn't e.g if I was applying for a competitive insight day then it'll definitely get checked thoroughly.
