Do I have to lie on the job interview?

Goodnight.



At this late hour I would like to talk about such things as job interviews, resumes and job searches.



Many of us have repeatedly looked for a new place of work (or first place). How often do people lie when applying for a job?

Some people want to exaggerate the level of knowledge they possess. Sometimes this is done in order to best meet the requirements of the vacancy and increase their chances of employment. You can go this way to bargain for a higher salary.



But ask any HR-manager, and he will answer: "Never lie on the interview."

• 2 of 3 candidates ascribed to themselves an experience that they never had
• 1 out of 5 candidates ascribes to themselves non-existent knowledge in the required areas
• 1 out of 10 candidates flirting with the dates of the beginning and end of previous work (and many pour on an interview because of this)
• 1 out of 10 candidates ascribes to themselves a non-existent education
• 1 out of 14 candidates fantasizes about previous (non-existent) works

What to do if you are a beginner, you have little experience and your diploma still "smells of paint." Should I embellish my professional experience and cling to it for my first job? If a lie is present in the resume - it should be invisible.



Employers are in a similar situation.

They are well aware that candidates exaggerate their knowledge, abilities and experience. However, they really want to stop all these searches. A new person has been found and work can be continued. But no. A hired “wrong” employee is a nightmare for a manager.



Some examples of what not to do:

• To ascribe education to a university that does not exist
• Send the employer someone else's resume with the corrected name, but with the saved photo
• Argue that you already had to work for a hiring manager, although this has never happened
• To claim that the employee was the CEO of his previous company, when in fact he was an employee with hourly pay
• Indicate service in the army in the years before the date of his birth
• Give examples of their work, actually performed by the employer
• Calling the directors of competing companies by name and stating that these people know the candidate very well - but the first phone call to check reveals the secret.

For what purpose did you lie on the interview?

And did you have to lie on the interview?



Upd. I will correct my defect.
