The interviewer asks, should I lie or tell the truth?
We are taught to be honest from an early age, but, as we get older, we know that:
The interviewer asks, should I lie or tell the truth?
Especially in the fierce job competition, whether it is the experience in the resume or the answer in the interview.
Under the layers of pressure, one may involuntarily choose "the more favorable way of lying", such as the following two stories:
The interviewer asks, should I lie or tell the truth?
Small A, graduated with a major in computer science, looking for a technical position, interviewed for a test in a well-known IT company.
When the interview was about to end, the other party suddenly asked: Do you have any OFFER in hand now?
The girl's brain twitched (her original words) and said: I still have Huawei, but I look forward to your company.
The interviewer asked: why? Why don't you like Huawei's OFFER, what position is it for you?
The girl started to make up (her original words) and said: Oh, Huawei is in the direction of image processing. I think I personally don't like Huawei very much, it has something to do with my personal future life plan.
Then, the interviewer asked a few other questions at random, and it was over.
A week later, I got a notification that I didn't pass the interview.

The interviewer asks, should I lie or tell the truth?
Small B, graduated from finance major, applied for a financial job, interviewed a credit rating company.
In the same way, the previous conversation was good. When the interview was in the final stage, the other party suddenly asked: Have you received an offer from other companies now?
The girl felt that it was too embarrassing to say that she had other offers (this is her original words), and said: Oh, I also have an offer from Ernst & Young (EY is one of the world's top 500 companies and one of the big four accounting firms).
The interviewer continued to ask: Then why didn't you go?
The girls started to talk nonsense: I think the office works too much overtime, often staying up late, and the intensity is too high, which is not suitable.
Then? not then~
The interviewer asks, should I lie or tell the truth?
No matter what kind of interview it is, there is only one big principle, that is: what you say must be the truth; of course, the truth may not be all told!
Why? Moral considerations aside, the cost of lying is too great—you're easy to spot when you're young.
Know that each circle is actually not that big. The interviewer on the opposite side may have already known your weight through 10 minutes of communication. At this time, when a lie is told, the possibility of revealing the truth is extremely high.
Even if the other party is not sure, after all, they are people in this industry, and if they continue to ask questions, they are still very likely to reveal their secrets.
Almost 100% of the interviewers will think that integrity is the minimum requirement! As long as there is a problem in this regard, even if the previous chat is good, it is very likely that this opportunity will be lost.
So, if you are worried that you are not good enough and can't whitewash yourself, how should you face this problem? There are 3 suggestions for the good sister:
>>>First, tell the truth about the progress
If you have been interviewing for jobs, then you can say: Which companies have I interviewed, have entered the final stage, and are still waiting for notification.
If you have just started looking for a job, then you can say: I have been completing XX project research, or my graduation thesis, or doing an internship in XX, so I just started looking for a job this week, and there are no other offers.
Young you, as long as there are real reasons, you must believe that the world is reasonable. Others won't look down on you just because you haven't had a good offer.
>>>Second, honestly expect
Faced with this problem, in addition to talking about your real progress, you can also talk about what work you desire. So although there is XXOFFER in hand, it is still further analysis and search.
>>>Third, don't tell the following truth
HR asks this question to look at your market conditions and to see if your job search goals are scattered.
If you have a few distant job-hunting goals at the moment, because you haven't figured out what you are suitable for, you will be interviewed for many positions.
For example, you are interviewing for a company's financial affairs today, but tomorrow you are also interviewing for other companies' positions, such as administration. Or if you already have other positions that are not related to the current interview position, don't say it at this time.
If the other party knows that you are interviewing for a variety of positions, they will find that your job search goals are very scattered, and they think that you are confused and clueless at this time, which will be a deduction item.
