Resume that will land you a programming job

I've been in charge of tech interviews at a large corporation. We quickly discovered that people lie on their resumes, like listing technologies they really only know how to spell. After that I stopped reading the resumes. We're looking for a candidate with a certain skill set, it doesn't really matter where you went to school, or where you worked. It's not like we will skip the whole technical interview if you worked at google. So we ask the same questions, and see who does better.<p>The only downside is that previous candidates would leak our questions to recruiters, who, in turn, would leak them to the new candidates.
