Forthright honesty is appropriate for a job interview and application.  Jewish tradition does not forbid lying in all cases, but the situation you describe is not one in which lying would be approved by tradition.

Aristotle, in the Ethics, wrote that it is never permissible to lie. Plato, in the Republic, wrote that occasional lies serve a higher purpose (though we would have cause to question his examples: physicians and politicians). Jewish tradition is neither so strict as Aristotle, nor as lenient as Plato.

Torah recounts numerous examples of deceptions and outright lies: the serpent in the Garden of Eden; Abraham claims Sarah as his sister; Rebecca and Jacob deceive Isaac; Laban substitutes Leah for Rachel on her wedding night; Jacob’s sons tell their father of Joseph’s “death” and deceive the men of Shechem; Joseph deceives his brothers in Egypt. We would do well to consider the consequences of these falsehoods.
