How much of what you say at an interview is true?

Question

Job interview that is!

Answer 1

"It's not a lie if you believe it." (George Costanza)

Answer 2

Hopefully all. Even if you get the job, if the employer finds out later that you lied, you'll probably get fired and could be subject to criminal charges.

Of course, I try very hard not to say anything bad about former employers or anything else on an interview.

Answer 3

Try to be pretty honest..the problem with lying whether in a job interview or anything else is that lies are easily forgotten..that is why people get caught...you forget what you told someone.

Answer 4

I say about 95% is true. When an interviewer askes for life experiences its usuall yeasier to make that part up
like how did you treat your coworker when they broke the rules.

Answer 5

hmmm lemme put it this way

nothing i say in an interview is a lie

hmmm u getting the drift..... its simple...... i am not saying all i say is truth

they ask me whats my weakness

i say trusting my intutions too much........ that isnt a lie..... but that aint the complete truth either....

coz if u lie its difficult to justify it at times..... by words or body language..... but what u know isnt a lie you can justify...

Answer 6

It should all be true. That being said, omission of something is not a lie.

A lie will come back to bite you.

Answer 7

Practically everything. You don't need to volunteer any negatives. You should also be able to spin your weaknesses into strengths.

Answer 8

nothing . . . if my employers had any idea of what i'm really like they'd burn me on a pyre.
