cheapthrillz Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm going for a job interview soon and i know there will be some tough competition, i will only be in with a good chance of getting the job if i kinda lie about certain things at the interview, I have a pretty good chance of getting away with it and do feel i'm capable of doing the job in question. I just wondered if any of you have or would ever lie on you job app or at an interview to get the job you desire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozy Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Putting a gloss on your talents, or exaggerating your experience is one thing. Downright lies are another - and have an unfortunate habit of coming up and biting the liar in the bum! Concentrate on putting the most positive spin you can on the truth (which is what most people do - after all, an interview is no time to hide your light under a bushel) but avoid outright lies. If you get the job and you're found out, you'll probably lose the job anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarby Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I did, and they know I'm uncapable of doing the job I do - but they haven't sacked me yet. It's because I make good eye candy for the wimmin in the offices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarby Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Bless!! :hihi: Yeah, and every now and again I like to pop in the offices, pretending that they've given me a dodgy disk and can they make me a new one - all the while I'm just....... just, OGLING!

Rich Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 No, I wouldn't.. What would you do if you got found out? They'd be quite within their right to sack you on the spot IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
