I always tell the truth. Lying always catches up with you. If you get a job and are later found to have lied, you will lose all credibility with your employer and probably lose your job. It isn't worth it. If you can't tell the truth, then there is something wrong with your character. When it comes down to it, our character is all we have. I would not want to be known as someone who has no character.

I always tell the truth, if they catch you in a lie or an embellishment they might not hire you just for that. A lot of employers are juat looking for someone with a litle experience and great people skill. They can teacjh you the rest, and are able to start you out at lower pay.

I personally have been in the position of interviewing potential job applicants. It truly is best to be honest, inevitably, if not, your dishonesty will eventually surface if indeed you are hired. Doesn't look good for you after the fact. Honesty goes a long way in the interview process.

Jobs are overrated. I'd fight with all my might to be an independant financial support for myself. Freelance is excellent. Journal writings and Types of business sales. I'd get to be friends and contacts with those invovled with personal businesses for pointers and help, they hold meetings regularly at community colleges or one another's houses. It'll be a greater help in comparison to the rat race and being fearful for your job security. Which of course is always an illusion to begin with.

you have to tell be as honest as you can, and make yourself be seen in a better light to be chosen over other people.
You say things that can be backed up with truth, weather it is the truth in the first place or a lie is up to you.
If you're found out you get a reputation or fired.
I'm reasonably skilled, but I make myself sound better by saying I'm "open to new situations and always willing to try"
