I only write true things.  I probably also under-exaggerate a bit.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

if I exaggerated, I'd have more chance of being put into harder stuff that I don't actually want to put in the effort to do

and that'd just be no good.

Hm, I'd say I stick to the truth - but then again, none of the stuff in my CV is actually as cool as it might sound. So 2.

#1. I don't exaggerate, but I tend to stress the positive factors, and mostly simply mention just the positive stuff.
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

number one, because even in writing it is obvious when i am lying or exaggerating.

"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

I tend to write the truth only. My problem is not that I exaggerate some thing. For some of the people around me, my problem is that I tend to downplay my own achievements, because of the same fear that Akonyl mentioned. At least, that's what happens 'til you realize that you're jobless after months of applying.
"Every man’s heart, one day, beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized."

I stick t the truth because I forget my own lies. Anyway I feel like I can scrape together enough good points to over-emphasize until I look awesome.
