  This significant detail is catching up with some job seekers, with 56 percent of employers telling CareerBuilder they've caught a lie on a resume. The most common lies involved embellished skills sets and responsibilities, accounting for 62 and 54 percent of lies, respectively. Other common areas of exaggeration include dates of employment, job titles and academic degrees.
  CareerBuilder asked employers to share their most memorable resume mistakes. These include the candidate who claimed to be a Nobel Prize winner and the applicant who wrote "pig Latin" among his language skills. Check out 13 other memorable resume mistakes in the slides above.
  When it comes to meeting criteria, 42 percent of hiring managers would consider a candidate who checked off three out of five key qualifications for a job, according to CareerBuilder. They're drawn toward candidates who spend a little more time on applications. Sixty-one percent of employers pay more attention to resumes that are customized for their open positions, while 49 percent appreciate a resume that comes with a cover letter. Other actions that pay off include addressing the hiring manager or recruiter by name and attaching links to an online portfolio, blog or website.
  "Most hiring managers are willing to consider candidates who do not meet 100 percent of the qualifications," she said in a statement. "Job seekers can increase their chances for consideration by proving past achievements that exemplify an ability to learn, enthusiasm and cultural fit."
