Get a book from the library on how to create an amazing resume.

Lie ALOT, it's not followed up, my current job I lied very badly to obtain the interview, but once you're there in the interview, theyll either like you and think you're capable, or not, cv is just irrelevant if I'm honest, unless you're trying to do law or medicine, it's not backchecked.dont lie and say you can do something you can't obviously, just say something along the lines of "I'm gods gift to humanity" just to get you're foot in that door

DON'T LIE THEY ALWAYS FIND OUT

I have never lied and advise you not to either. These days employers are more likely to check you, including your 'social media lifestream'.
If I can choose three words for a good CV they are these:
brief; concise; and relevant.
It's in your Covering Letter where you can tailor your job application and link to specific details in the enclosed/attached CV.
Then at the interview you can open up and show your personality better.
Lastly, for online CVs, save your file as a '.pdf'. Not only it looks much better but it stops anyone accessing the document.
Hopefully I've helped.
PS:
Only psychopaths/sociopaths are perfect liars
(which means only 1% of their story is actually untrue).
