The "L" word

NOTE: I know I have been neglecting my posting responsibilities, so here is the first in a series of short posts I will hopefully be making. Enjoy, or not, I don't really care.


Birds do it,
Bees do it
Even educated fleas do it.
Let's do it,
Let's lie in a job interview.

Yes, you know you've all done it. Told that one or two or twelve lies in a job interview. I'm not condemning you, who wouldn't lie? This job could be the difference between spending those lonely nights alone in your parents' basement, and spending the night with a beautiful prostitute in your parents' basement. But why lie? Do you think if you say that you don't work well with others, or that you hate having to deal with customers, or that you are not that great of a problem solver, that you'll get passed up for the job? Probably! But do you think that interviewers are stupid and don't know that you're lying? Unless you're applying for a high level government job that requires you to be strapped to a polygraph during the interview, probably! It's like the interviewers expect you to lie. With questions like "Why do you want to work here?", do they think you're going to say that you need the money to support your video game addiction? NO! You're gonna say that you love the comradery of the employees and how much you just like the workspace!

In conclusion, there is nothing wrong in lying at an interview. In fact I encourage it! Lie all you want, except about your qualifications. And remember, don't be a B.I.L.L., a Masters In Acting does not qualify you to work as a Technical Director in a theatre.
