My fiance is a med student. He will be leaving this state in 1 1/2 years to do his residency. He wants me to go with him wherever he goes and I certainly want to go with him as well. I have gone through two job interviews this week w/ flying colors. They asked me if in 2 years I might relocate for them. I said yes--knowing full well that I might not even be here in 2 years. They LOVE me. My last interview with corporate is tomorrow and I'm sure they will love me as well. I'm positive that they will ask me about relocation too. I truly want this job but feel guilty for telling them I will relocate in two years when I have every intention of moving away with my b/f when he goes away. Can I get some advice? Should I feel badly about this?

You don't know what the future holds. You may competely fall in love with this job and want to relocate with them. I think that before you agree to give up and career path you may wish to pursue, that you know that your fiance would be willing to alter his plans for you as well. What if they relocate you to a place where you can finish his residency? This is something you definitely need to discuss with him as I think an ideal marriage would consist of two people that would be willing to put the other one first. Is he willing to make changes for you as well? Since you have no idea where they might relocate you or where his residency might be, you could say you are open to the idea of relocation but it would depend on the time, location and circumstances. That way you aren't lying but not agreeing to follow your company to the end of the world either.

I've never felt like I've had to lie in an interview. But even though you have no intention of relocating for the jobs, 2 years is still a ways away and you never know how you'll feel about it then. Things could change and you and your fiance may end up relocating in the time to come so don't feel bad.

its not the worst thing in the world to lie about when your leaving on a job interview. When the time comes, just explain to them that things didn't go as planned and you'll have to relocate a bit earlier than expected. As long as you've done a good job working there, I'm sure they'll understand.

These people are prospecting you for a job, you are not truly lying to them b/c who says you couldn't relocate to wherever your finace does his residency. PLUS a lot changes in 2 years. They are more looking for your willingness to move and be flxible in the job. If you take one of these jobs then I would tell someone that your finace may have to move in a year and half and you want to go with him to but would like to stay with the company, but I don't think you should feel guilty for putting your best face forward in a job interview. No one is truly themselves or 100% honest in a job interview.... Go with your gut and you'll do fine.

I've interviewed tons of people. Don't worry about it. People quit jobs all of the time and hell, who knows where life will take you, maybe you will still be there and able to relocate for the job in two years. You never know.

of course you should feel bad. but it depends on what kind of person you really are whether or not you should go through with it. Depends on your ethics. but you know two years time for a company is a long time. in that time you might find you dont even like it. and they said might relocate, it wasnt specific. So take the job, feel bad, get a new job later. maybe you can secretly train someone under you to take on that kind of move.

Lie about your intentions so you can get the job. They know things change and people change. I don't think they are going to make note that you said you would relocate, and hold it against you when you leave. As long as you leave with notice, you should be fine.

No, how can anyone know what they are doing in two years. You may not even be alive in two years, Lord forbid.
People fib in interviews a lot.
Q.-Have you ever been fired? A. No Ha!
Q. How many times have you been late at your last job? A. Once or twice Ha!
Good Luck and do your best. That's all anyone should expect.

I would lie! Get the experience and ditch em.
I do interviews all the time for new employees. You know right away the lies. So my suggestion is don't go over the top with the lies. The interviewee is expecting lies - it is in the nature of the beast.
Also a lot can happen in two years!
