I don´t think I would. For example: If I lie about my abilities, over time the person who hired me would realize that I was dishonest in my interview and that could cause me many problems.
I will never lie in a job interview because it is dishonest and it is bad. Nevertheless, I would not tell to the interviewer all the things that I am unavailable to do. I think that the best thing you can do is to mention your abilities in which you are outstanding to impress to your future boss (if you get hired).
I shouldn’t lie in a job interview because I think that telling the truth is the best thing that you can do, I guess the truth always comes out.However, I also think that if I am in an interview and the interviewer doesn’t ask me for something that I can’t do I wouldn’t tell it, but it doesn’t mean that I am lying.
Well, I think that if I need the job, a Little lie it´s not a big deal. However, cans bring a big consequent. I think that having a good impression during the interview is one of the most important things when you want to get a job, because sometimes say always the truth is not a good idea, a mean could be not to lie but not say all the truth.
I think that I could not lie in a job interview. First of all, I am very bad at lying, so I guess that my interviewer will inmediatly notice that why I am telling is not the truth. And also, I do not think it has much sense. You are the only one who is cheated. Probably just for a few weeks you can hide the truth, but when it comes over your boss will find another person to be in your place, as simple as that, and obviously you will be fired.
I wouldn´t lie in an interview because if I do it, maybe I will get the job, but after some weeks my boss could see I´m not as good as I said before. I could be fired and I could have problems with my future jobs.
However, I can not be completely sure about it because I don´t have to support anyone or live by myself.
Maybe I would lie, it depends of the question. I wouldn´t lie about my abilities and my degree, but if "my boss" asked me some personal questions, depending if it's too personal, I would lie. I think that nowadays it´s important to hide some personal things whatever the situation is.
I don´t think that I would lie in a job interview. I mean, I have been in some interviews before and I was completly honest about everything the interviewer asked me. For me is better to say the truth because if you say that you have experience in something or that you can do really good a specific thing, or any other lie, probably the people around you will know that you lied and will hate you or they won´t trust on you.
I belive that i would totally lie in a job interview if i have to in order to get the job, only if it's something superficial, for example experience, that it's something that you can learn by practicing in that job, maybe gathering information with friends or even doing a research on line. What I have learn in my short life it's that everybody lies at some point and I belive that for the right reasons thats not a big deal.
I think I wouldn´t lie in a job interview. If I lie, for example, about my abilities or experience, maybe I will get the job, but over the time, my boss could discover that I lied to him before and I could be fired despite of being a good employee. Although lies can save us many times, I think saying the truth is the best option.
I guess that It´s depends. If I really needed or I liked that job and my skills were not enough to get that job may lie, but not too much for not noticing. But if the work is relatively simple or I can do what they need at work, there would be no reason to lie because my skills are sufficient for the job. If you will lying on a job interview, try not to get nervous and do not contradict in any way to prevent getting caught.
I wont lie in a job interview. First, I think it is unethical regardless of the situation, also think that sooner or later they would realize and the situation would be worse. Secondly, I'd be very nervous to try, because I would think that at any moment they would realize. If I were honest in the interview and accept that I am not perfect but it could improve enhance detail they deem as bad points, I could do better.
