Do most people lie in job interviews?

Question

Heh.....I have to make up some reason about why I want the job when I have absolutely no interest in it.

What's ironic is that I'm doing this for my family....

Answer 1

I've learned about a year ago to lie during job interviews. I've always applied for customer service and bank teller jobs. So everytime the interviewer asks me to tell them about a situation I had to resolve on my own...I end up making up a situation that could occur or occurred with someone else.

That's the only way to get a job in my book. I've been stumped one time with a question I couldn't answer and that hurt my chances of getting the job. So I've learned to lie big time during job interviews.

Answer 2

no longer all and sundry lies.... yet for liars, i ought to assert that the right celebration should be if someone has an gruesome wart (or gown) and asks you if evidently undesirable. That man or woman should be self unsleeping about their looks. So obviously, you ought to tell a touch white lie. do not tell them you ought to lie if requested even if you ought to lie at an interview (or thieve from a funds sign up).

Answer 3

The question is, "Do most people lie on a job interview?" The answer is YES! That is if you want a job. The decision to fib is yours. What is the worse they can do to you? Kill you?

Answer 4

Most people 'embellish' a bit during an interview (guilty as charged). I was once in a position of hiring others, and I would always ask them to go one step further when they were asked about interest or a certain skill. Like they always say, it takes one to know one. Choose your words carefully, or they just might hire you!

Answer 5

That's funny... It seems like we do go for jobs, that don't really interest us, but we need the money... So, yeah, sometimes we do have to add to our reason for wanting the job.

Answer 7
