Or if you do lie about technical knowledge (like having used a specific programming library or knowing how to use some other type of software) make sure you have the ability to quickly pick it up. Like if you know you have the ability to learn fast enough they won't notice, but you don't have the specific knowledge they ask for you can definitely lie.
I say this as someone who lied about knowing GIS when the only time I had ever used GIS was when I used Python to plot hurricanes in highschool. But it was pretty easy to learn the specifics because I'd used other design software. Now I'm running that department (albeit in a pretty small company of about 20).
