Do employers actually know or care about lying on resume? (kbin.social)

The current system of job seeking often requires to lie on resume. It is even being highly recommended by people that coach people for job seeking, although with some moderation of course.

It really doesnt. Youre welcome to submit your resume into a place even if you dont meet all the qualifications(in fact, I'd recommend it) but lying comes off bad pretty much anywhere. If you cant show that your resume even kind of reflects your skillset any potential employer is gonna write you off
