A lister who resisted the advice reported:

My comment is that, morals aside, reporting experience on a resume one doesn't
have
(because that's what the above would be doing) is a bad idea.
In the music world, I think the singer sets up certain expectations with
reports of
performance experience. But if the singer doesn't prove to be as good as the
resume
suggests, the singer is written off as unable rather than inexperienced - i.e.,
one gets
cut less slack than if one were truthful about performance experience.
And personally, I don't want to have a job I'm not qualified for, whether it's
singing or
human resources. It's hard enough to do a job well when one IS qualified.
