This terrifies me in terms of my rewriting my resume for my next job cycle. Is any minuscule semblance of honesty on a resume completely dead as a zombie shot through the brain?

I'm serious here. If I have never used XYZ tech, should I list that as a matter of course now should the position require it, and then fudge the results with a few searches and try-out "tests"?

In "current year": "I know what color it is" truly makes me an expert if I can snake-oil my way into it?

"Fake it 'till you make it," is a statement of pure wisdom, at least with regards to success in America. Especially in IT.
