Not really. A potential employer can easily check to see why you left your previous place of employment. If they see that you've lied, they'll find you untrustworthy and probably not hire you. Honesty is still the best policy.

If it was not a job that you were at for very long, you can leave it off your application or resume, but your potential employer may ask you to explain any lapse in employment.

The truth. If you lie about it and say you work well on your own when you really don't, they will eventually find out, and you'll get fired. Being fired is going to be hard to explain to your next potential employer.Also, honestly: if they're going to decide whether you get the job or not based on how well you clean when not supervised, you probably don't want the job unless the answer is "extremely well, because I love cleaning; I'd do it for free."

Is it illegal to lie on a job application?

Yes. Misleading someone for the purpose of financial gain is fraud... And although it is highly unlikely that the employer would do anything about it--in practical terms, you've just made it easy for them to fire you for cause. Depends upon the job. Some jobs it is illegal and for all jobs can result to being fired or terminated from the position. Never lie on an application. You can ommit some things but explain why.
