Lying in an interview may cost you the chance of being hired, and it is easy to be exposed. Have you ever thought about the serious consequences of doing so?
1. Forge your work experience, and you may not be able to justify yourself, because the interviewer will delve into the details.
If you think lying can impress the interviewer, it means that the content of your lies may be very important (you probably think lying is just a trivial matter). This means that the interviewer will ask you many follow-up questions, and all your answers must be based on lies. In order to tell this lie, you have to rack your brains to tell more lies.
If the interviewer is smart enough, your story may be easily seen through. Even if you don't get caught, you may not be familiar with the question to be discussed next.
Even if the interviewer can't see that you are lying, it won't do you much good to impress others, but it will only arouse their suspicion. In most cases, to impress people, just frankly admit that you really don't have much experience in some fields.
If you lie only to get more salary, then this lie is likely to be exposed in the salary verification process.
Some companies ask job seekers about their previous salary only as a basis for their salary determination. This makes some people think that they can just make up a number and get a higher salary from their new boss. The problem is that interviewers often judge whether you are cheating through salary verification-if they find you lying, you are probably out.
To make matters worse, sometimes the interviewer will be too lazy to verify and let you pass the interview directly; Sometimes, the interviewer doesn't check until you quit your last job. This means that if they expose your lies and take out your resume at this time, you will really be unemployed.
Don't try to raise your salary by lying. It is wise to report your past salary aboveboard and focus on the salary level you want now.
Any lie you tell in the interview may be exposed later.
To save face, I don't want to admit that I was fired, but because the company laid off employees or I resigned myself. But then, the interviewer will ask about the specific details of layoffs or resignations. A phone call will expose your lies in a few minutes. Fabricating false jobs or exaggerating achievements? The interviewer will also verify these details. If you deviate too much from the facts, you will lose the chance of being hired.
Generally speaking, unless you get into the key part of the interview, the interviewer will not be too picky about your words. Once the key link is reached, they will verify the truth of what you said through various channels and whether there is any exaggeration.
4. If the lie in the interview is lucky enough not to be found, you can get a job opportunity successfully and you may lose it in the end.
Even if you are not caught lying in the interview, don't think everything will be all right. The consequences you will face will be much more serious, not just the loss of job opportunities: you got the position in a dishonest way, which means you may lose the trust of your employer, who will think you are not qualified for the job. It's hard for you to reverse this impression, and you may even be fired.
The best way is to face it honestly, let the screening process of the interview really play a role, and let outstanding talents stand out. After all, losing an interview is better than being fired later.
