PEE ARR.
Spin it like its hot.
Summon up the best poker face you can give and tell them you like setting new goals for yourself to reach, new challenges to overcome. Tell them you wanted to see if you could still land the interview [not the job, because the interview will determine that] even though you had been creative with your resume. Then, at interview time tell them you enjoyed the little exercise for yourself and now, here you are.

I don't know what the position is, but in any interview if you don't ask them more questions about the company, about the job, about their management style, about the team you'll be working wit ...
- i.e. show some interest in the total picture and dont be just another face in the room - ..... if you don't do any of that, one of the other candidates will and you won't get the job.
Research the company well in advance.
If they had any major public screw-ups that might impact your work in any way, take note and ask about it on the interview out of concern of what challenges might be coming your way.
Ask about their management - is it hands on or hands off? That makes a big difference in how you'll be expected to perform.
Ask about the team and others you'll be working with. Depending on the company and the job, you might want to start off by saying
"I'm sure you have a great team here ..." ... and then move into finding out more about what they're looking for in an ideal candidate ...
".... but what are you looking for, in an ideal candidate to bring to the table? What new strengths could he or she bring that would augment or reinforce the team?"
blah blah blah
There's loads more questions but it depends on the job type.
