Is it every okay to embellish a little on a resume'?

When I say embellish, I mean like instead of saying you have 2 years of experience at a job, saying you have 3 or 4? Experience is experience, right?

No! It's never okay to change your work experience to suit your needs. You always should be honest about your experience, because when it's time to explain your work history timeline it my overlap or even become confusing. So, believe in yourself and know that honesty is the best policy. So, go for it and let your light shine! Good luck and much success!

No when you give your references they will find out. It would be sad if you got that far and not get the job because of a stupid lie

No, never, ever, lie under any circumstances! Honesty is ALWAYS best for building on your integrity. Experience will help but never exagerate. Employers check many things, in many ways; you'll be found out, reputation wrecked.
