Lying on Resumez

I believe it is a very big deal to lie on a resume. It really surprised me that 50% of people lie on their resumes. It makes me feel like the competition isn't fair and the only to get ahead of those 50% is to lie myself. Lying cheats out those who really worked did the work required for the job. What happens to those people that went for the job and was very close competition to the person that cheated and got the job. Will they get called back after the other person got fired? No, doubt it. That's where the moral obligation of the applicant comes in. Maybe there should be more emphasis on moral obligations and right things that should be done, instead of what will get you ahead.
