Perjury is the legal definition for lying under oath (anywhere). You can be prosecuted for lying to Congress during a hearing, for example. If you sign a job application that says “I affirm that the information presented is correct to the best of my knowledge”, its as if you are taking an oath (or an affirmation for those who dont take oaths for religious reasons) that you are telling the truth. A resume where you don’t have this problem can still get you in trouble for fraud. Fraud is misrepresenting something, for financial gain. So, lying for a job on a resume can get you into trouble for fraud while lying on an application can also get you into trouble for perjury. in either case, the likelihood of an actual prosecution is minimal, because it isnt worth the time or effort to prosecute.
In any event, the short term gain is almost never worth the long term problems caused by lying. Most importantly, it violates the torahs mandate of midvar sheker tirchak (there is no asterisk that says “but for financial gain its muttar”).
