What is the biggest lie you have ever told in an interview?

There are many entrepreneurs here, but I'm sure that almost all of us have been through a job interview. I start, once they asked me if I had any international experience, and I told them that I had spent 3 months as a private teacher in the Netherlands when I was actually visiting my brother.

I once claimed to be proficient in a programming language I barely knew, only to spend the entire weekend before my first day cramming like a college student during finals. It turned out to be a crash course that paid off, as I quickly became genuinely skilled.

In an interview, I once exaggerated my proficiency in a programming language, claiming to be an expert when I was just intermediate. It pushed me to quickly level up my skills to match my claims, turning a fib into a real strength.
