You covered some great points here. I also don't like when candidates tailor their resume to the job. I want to know what their actual experience was and how they progressed. Tailor your cover letter, but let your resume speak to what you actually did.
Also, don't use fancy words that you can't explain. For example:"Implemented a creative solution to track leads while increasing business by 150%". If you put this on a resume, you better be able to explain exactly what the "creative solution" is and how that solution increased business.
Be honest about your experience. Spend your creativity in the position you have and you may be surprised where it takes you. If you are more focused on mis-stating your experience, it makes me question how dedicated you will be if you work for me.
