I've hired and fired for 40 years. Bottom line ... Be honest during the interview. I eventually figured out the liars. Most Gouda employers do. Biggest "lie"..... Availability. Once hired, it's "Ooops I forgot to mention bowling", etc. I fired them. Never ever be afraid to tell the truth, because it WILL come back to haunt you.

After the fact is when employers find out. A few years ago we did a group interview training exercise where everyone had to try and figure out which one of us was lying. I told them all that I had a tattooed love heart on my bottom, I was so convincing that the whole group thought I had told the truth! So, it's not easy to see who is lying at the interview stage unfortunately. The best advice I can give is to be yourself.

I was honest at mine. Scared to death they wouldn't hire me b/c I plan to eventually end up somewhere else and told them so. I do feel for those who bend the truth a bit though. Seems like the only way to get work over the summer nowadays.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
