sometimes you have to bend the truth a
little at a job interrview dishonest
perhaps but does it work yoyo massive
lies about employment history education
or your abilities are never okay but
everyone's exaggerated or told
half-truths in a job interview it's fine
just ask the guy who hired me what
according to Peter Harris
editor-in-chief of the online job board
work appleís here are a few that are
acceptable in certain situations I only
worked at these places if you work
somewhere for a short period of time and
it ended badly just leave it up your
resume your resume doesn't have to be a
comprehensive list of every dumb job
you've had
I loved everyone on my old team everyone
has to work with people they don't like
however Harris said speaking ill of your
former coworkers just makes you sound
like a complainer my interests include
traveling and reading and charity work
well one of my top current interests
right now
avoiding social situations being jealous
of my peers and anxiously checking my
phone every thirty seconds probably not
the best thing to tell a potential
employer maybe pick interests that could
positively relate to the position you're
going for my last boss was the greatest
of course they weren't they were your
boss but putting them on blast to a
potential new boss will only make them
wonder if you'll say the same things
about them I'm considering leaving my
current job because this opportunity
seems too great to pass up the real
reason you leave a job is because of the
people the work the commute the money or
all of those things but don't say that
Harris said to tell them you're excited
by the opportunity at that company or
you're passionate to work for them
specifically you know something like
that my greatest weakness is I hate when
they ask for this I think it's just a
mess with people never say your actual
greatest weakness making videos share a
weakness that wouldn't affect your
ability to do the job you're applying
for if you get caught lying be an adult
and apologize if they really hate you
about it have them tweet to me but make
sure they use the hashtag why did I
listen to Joe Avella
you
