To the people who conduct job interviews: why do you want people to lie to you?
First of all English is not my first language so I apologise in advance if you will find any mistakes. I would like to ask to the people that conduct job interviews: why do you want your potential employee to lie to you? I have been to lots of interviews and I have come to the conclusion that you only give the job to the people who are more able to lie to you. Let me give you some examples: you want the employee to say that the customer is everything to him/her. Come on....do you think that people have in mind only the customers's happiness? Don't you think that we have more important and interesting things to think about? That doesn't mean that I am not kind with customers and that I don't want them to be happy. You don't give the job to a person that talk badly about his/her former employer. Why? If you ask him/her to tell the truth, why are you not able to accept the sincere reply? Do you think that your future employee will never talk bad about you? It's impossible to find somebody who doesn't have to tell something bad about his/her last employer. You give the job to the person that invented the most inexistent past jobs? Why?? What is the problem in having had only a couple of jobs in my life? Does that mean that I will be e bad person? You don't like the fact that a person has be unemployed for a long period. What is your problem with that? What if I have been Johnny Depp's lover and he has been paying me for sex (in my dreams)? What do you know about my life?
My point is: why do you ask questions if you only want lies as an answer? I have a job, so don't start insulting me telling me that is obvious that I don't have a job if I think it this way (this goes to the people that spend their day insulting other people on the internet). I am not trying to judge you people who conduct interviews, I just want to understand.
I am not able to tell lies at the interviews but I am always punctual, I am a hard worker and I am sure I am a good person.
Please, explain to me.
Thank you.

They only want to hear what they think is right .. So lie through your back teeth and get the job. |

If you talk crap on your last employer,then of course your gonna talk bad about your current employer. |

We don't want people to lie, and we are normally sensible enough to be able to tell when someone is lying to try to make themselves look better. |

You should never take these interviews personally because they have a set of papers at their disposal with questions to ask each interviewee and you will be amongst one of many.They then shortlist them into categories and choose the one with the most ticks.A computer is ideal for the Job of an Interviewer because this is what they do. |
