What is dishonesty in job interviews?

I always answer interview questions transparently and accurately in the interview, and there are several common lying situations in the interview:

False work experience or academic information

In the interview, many people may exaggerate their work experience or education, or even fabricate false information. For example, they may exaggerate their positions, salaries or responsibilities in their resumes, or lie about their degrees, grades and qualifications in interviews.

However, once the interviewer discovers these lies, he will question the interviewer's integrity and honesty and may be disqualified from the interview.

Exaggerate or exaggerate one's skills and abilities.

During the interview, some people may exaggerate their skills and abilities, hoping to impress the interviewer. For example, they may say they are industry experts or leaders, or exaggerate their achievements and contributions.

However, if they fail to honor these promises or exaggerate after the interview, the interviewer may doubt them and question their ability and trust.

Hide one's shortcomings or weaknesses

Many people will try their best to cover up their shortcomings or weaknesses in the interview, hoping to leave a more perfect impression on the interviewer. For example, they may say that they have no shortcomings, or try to hide their shortcomings.

But this behavior may make the interviewer doubt the interviewer's honesty and sincerity, because everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages. On the contrary, if interviewers can honestly admit their shortcomings and show how to overcome them in their work, they may gain more respect and trust.

Did not answer the interviewer's question truthfully.

During the interview, the interviewer may ask some challenging or sensitive questions, such as your greatest weakness, why you left your last job, your best leadership experience and so on. Some people may try to avoid or answer these questions dishonestly, so as not to cause the interviewer's dissatisfaction or worry that their answers will have a negative impact on themselves.

However, this kind of behavior may make the interviewer doubt his honesty and sincerity, which will adversely affect his future work performance. On the contrary, if interviewers can honestly answer these questions and show how they can learn from past experience and improve themselves, then they may gain more respect and trust.

Hide or cover up your mistakes or bad records.

During the interview, the interviewer may try to hide or cover up his mistakes or bad records, such as being fired or punished. They may try to blur or hide their past, hoping to win the favor of the interviewer.

However, this kind of behavior may be detected by the interviewer, which makes the interviewer's integrity questioned. On the contrary, if interviewers can honestly admit their mistakes, explain the lessons they have learned from them and show how they can grow and improve from their past experiences, they may gain more respect and trust.

Generally speaking, lying in the interview process may bring serious consequences to the interviewer and affect his future career development. So I suggest that all interviewers should be honest and transparent and show their true selves, so as to get the best results in the interview.
