The current system of job seeking often requires to lie on resume. It is even being highly recommended by people that coach people for job seeking, although with some moderation of course.

Because you are at a disadvantage against those that do? I guess it depends on how definition of “required” and I feel like the context dictates the definition of “required” to be “required to be competitive.”
Job listings often list unrealistic or impossible qualifications (such as 10 years experience in a programming language that’s only existed for 6 years, most famously), overblown or unrealistically wide scope (must be expert in Linux, Windows, Cobol, C++, Atari, and to do the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs), etc…
So to actually get a job you may be perfectly qualified for, it’s requires lying. The trick is knowing what’s bullshit on the job listing and what’s important, and if you are qualified for a particular position, you should know what parts are bullshit. Lying in that instance seems fine to me.
