I have never lied at a job interview.  In some states if they find out after they hire you that you lied, it is grounds for immediate termination.

Well you shouldn't be lying in the first place. It has been my experience that the truth alway's comes out. It is the nature of truth to come out and if you have to lie, be prepared when you least expect it, for the truth to come out.

Yes.  i tell true lies all the time.  One can lie by omission as well as commission.  When someone asks me why i did something, i give them a reason.  Naturally, they assume it is THE reason.  i may have had 9 or 10 diff. reasons, no one said the reason given, was even in the top 5.  It is not nescessarily my MOTIVE, if you follow me.  There are many other examples when you speak in a kind of code, to determine who really GETS you, ya know?

I think it depends on an individuals personality.  Some lie because they may be afraid of the other persons/peoples reaction.  Maybe the fear of being disliked.  Others may lie and give quick answers cause they don't feel like explaining themselves or the whole story.  I think alot of people do it even unintentionally and it becomes a habit.

towards the end of the interview.  Bring it up as benefits offered by the company, "trial period" etc...  \n\nI never leave a job without knowing at least something basic about the salary offered.  I live in a part of the U.S. where salaries are far below the national average (secretaries make $6 per hr).  Wouldn't you look foolish if you are "polite" and don't discuss money, and they offer you something below what you can live on? \n\nGood luck

Depends on what job you're being interviewed for. For example if you're applying for a daycare and they ask what your weaknesses are, then you might say "I nearly puek what I have to change a dirty diaper". So it really depends on the type of job. If you're out job searching, good luck:)

it all depends on who they;re talking to. like if talking to a stranger u might or might not tell the truth. n if ur talking to a friend or a family member, then ur problee gonna be telling the truth unless u realy have to lie.

If you lie on a job app, the employeer can fire you for that at any time.  also, if they find out you lied they may not fire you but it could cause some hard feelings.  you could just tell them you are currently working toward the completion of your GED instead.  I hope you complete your ged.

No. Why would they need to lie if their goal is a worthy one ??

Your first answer is correct, the truth is always easier to remember, some one once said "you need a very good memory to make a liar"\nNow having said that you must always bear in mind that employment agencies are there to make money, not to help you, (that's just a bye product) they are paid for supplying workers to suit requirements asked for by the employee, simple as that! The agency  will go out of their way to make sure you are seen in the best possible light, they have even on occasions re written my CV, So don't be afraid to ask them for any help you may need, they are not employing you, they are just trying to 'sell' you on.

Well I would tell you new workplace that this is not common practice for you. Provide them with references from previous employers of yours that prove you have a had very litle time off in past jobs. Suggest this was a one-off.\n\nPesonally I wouldnt tell them the truth that the job was too stressful for you because it will come accross as though you couldnt handle the job and so it could easily happen again when you work for the new employers. I would tell a white lie and say you experienced personal problems(wife/family?) that led you to suffer from a stress related problem like anxiety etc. The doctors notes you have will back this up as they outline you have suffered from stress.\n\nI know its not great to lie but if I was an employer I wouldn't employ you if I knew you had time off from work due to the stress of the job. And anyway if you know in your heart that you CAN do this job well and it wont happen again it doesn't harm anyone. Jobs allow us to survive in life pay mortgages, our kids shoes etc and so as this lie wont hurt anyone and means you can get your job...theres no real problem.

Lies all lies, they are thinking about how much money you have and what kind of job you have.

no way, i lie all the time and nobody ever notices-a good liar will never let you know that they are lying unless they want you to know

If it is during and interview, tell the truth: for example, I am goo in computers, but I am not as organized ad I would like to be. Always say the positive points first and then the negatives, everybody has weaknesses nobody is perfect, if you do not say them you are lying

As honestly as possible.  If there were uncomfortable circumstances, then politely decline to answer. It's best NOT to lie, because lies can get found out.
