So? I can lie to anyone on the street by pretending to be a begger and have them give money to me.
Lying is NOT illegal.

You lie to get some money.

No, you lie to get the job.
You work to get the money.

Why should lying here be any different to lying to the police etc?

Lying to the police should not be illegal, unless you're under oath.

Suppose I was to lie in a job interview that I was an experienced & qualified surgeon, then I was to get a job based on this & because of my incompetence & inexperience at surgery cause the death of a patient.
Do you not think that this would be wrong?

It doesn't really matter what *I* think. *I* think it is wrong and wouldn't do it, but, I'm not about to legislate morality and force my opinion onto others.
If you do get the job based solely on what you said and no one bothered to check up on it, they should be held accountable for neglect.
*You* should then be held accountable for murder because you murdered that patient.
The crime here is murder, not lying to get a job.
