How honest R U on a Job app?

[fezident]

<p>When you apply for a Job (or fill out your resume) how honest are you?</p><p>Do you answer their questions honestly....or do you give the answer that you THINK they wanna hear?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My brothers girlfriend applied for a job at BestBuy.&nbsp; On their questionaire, they ask questions like &quot;have you ever THOUGHT about stealing money but, not actually taken any?&quot;&nbsp; and &quot;if someone lost something of value and you returned it to them, are you HAPPIER when there is a reward?&quot;</p><p>I think these are loaded questions.&nbsp; She answered them honestly and they told her that she did not meet their requirements.&nbsp; </p><p>She told me that there were several questions that were &quot;tricky&quot; so I went online and took their little pre-interview.&nbsp; I was (pretty much) totally honest and, wouldn't you know it, I dont meet their minimum req's either.</p><p>&quot;Have you ever been late for work in the last 3 years?&quot;&nbsp; Anyone that answers &quot;NO&quot; is lying.&nbsp; Over the course of a few years...you're gonna be late at least once or twice.&nbsp; </p><p>It's interesting that they only want people who lie (about the level of honesty) on the friggin' application!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So...do YOU lie on a job app?</p>

the key is to tell the truth on the app or resume cause they can
actually look that up. its in the interview that you lie like hell<br />

I'm usually very honest at both the Application and Interview stage.&nbsp; But I've never filled out an application with loaded questions like that.&nbsp; I would totally answer stupid questions like that with what I thought they would want.

ANyone can lie on a job app, but it takes real balls to lie on an sf86 form and then keep back information from a government agent investigating your background

I work for a subsidiary of the Bank of NY and a girl was fired after working here 2 days cause she wasn't truthful on her application.

Trust me, it won't hurt.

<p>I once got a job because I out and out lied during the interview, which I regretted later only because of the kind of job it was and they assumed I was ape-shit thrilled about doing it.</p><p>I also never mention during the interview that I fritter away company time on internet message boards talking about radio shows. They all learn that soon enough.</p>

Just applied to Wal-Mart yesterday.&nbsp; The questionare was more like an agree/disagree rating thing.&nbsp; I don't think they could've had any more redundant with the pot smoking/conformity questions.

It's Ok to lie as long as you got people to back up what you put on an application/resume,
