Cheating is not good, they told us in childhood. There is also a lie to save, we understood with age. What about employment? Is it possible to deceive a potential employer and what is better to keep silent at the interview? About situations in which a word is silver and silence is gold, read the Superjob article. Everything secret becomes clear Trite, but true: one of the main rules for successfully passing an interview is not to deceive the recruiter. To ascribe to yourself duties that you did not fulfill, skills that you really do not own, places of work that do not exist - all this is an absolute taboo for a person who is set up for a successful career. An experienced recruitment manager can easily recognize your lies - in his arsenal there are a lot of relevant tricks. But even if he does not succeed, then the candidate who got a job by deceit is most likely not expecting anything good. Colleagues will quickly understand that, for example, his supposedly “free English” actually did not go far from the high school level, and “his extensive experience in organizing events” was just the ability to order coffee on time for participants in a business meeting. And yet it is no secret that some information can be a significant obstacle to employment. Is it worth it to inform the recruiter on some details of your life on your own initiative? What is better to keep silent in the resume and in the interview? Work period too short It happens that the applicant has some negative professional experience. For example, a short period of work, not reflected in the work book, - a person was mistaken, he did not like the team or seemed uninteresting duties, and he quit a week or two after employment. Or he didn’t even quit himself, but the head asked - as they say, it did not grow together, it did not work out. Should such a short period of work be included in the resume? Resume is a document reflecting the skills of the applicant. Has the candidate acquired any useful skills for such a short period of work in the company? Hardly. So save the recruiter from unnecessary information - write in the resume only what is really significant. Another thing is if a short period of work in the company is reflected in your work book. In this case, the question of the reasons for such a rapid dismissal will certainly arise with the recruiter - either at an interview, or already in the process of processing documents. You should not deceive the employer: honestly say that you made a mistake, made the wrong decision when finding a job, and then realized your mistake and, without wasting time in an uninteresting job for you, quit. It is better if the recruiter receives this information before he discovers the entry in the work book already upon paperwork. Conflicts with Former Leadership Most interview applicants cannot avoid the question of the reasons for dismissal from a previous job. It’s good if you left the former company solely for the purpose of further professional growth and development - such an answer will show the recruiter your high intrinsic motivation to work and will be a point in your favor. But what if the reason for the dismissal was a serious conflict with management or colleagues? You need to understand that a detailed story about how your boss pushed you and how you suffered from the minor wrecking of your colleagues will be a very serious minus of your candidacy in the eyes of the recruitment manager. Such a candidate may well be considered as conflicting, unconstructive and not able to work in a team. On the other hand, a clear deception on your part (“Relations with the leader were excellent, I just wanted to develop in a related field”) is at least unethical, and at the very least dangerous for a career. After all, a lie can be revealed if a recruiter, for example, decides to seek recommendations at your previous place of work. How to be? Search for a middle ground. Think over your answer so that it is not a hoax, but also does not deprive you of employment opportunities. Do not criticize the former boss for the eyes, be prepared to find something good in the experience gained with his help. “My former leader and I disagreed on some working issues. I realized that the company is not ready for the transformations that I offer, and decided to look for another job ”; “I am grateful to the team for teaching me how to work under frequently changing conditions, but still my goal is a slightly different job,” such answers, if they sound sincere, will completely satisfy the recruiter.

When interviewing for a job, think about your body language in advance. If from excitement you habitually jerk your foot, then sit foot on foot. If you tap on the table, try to occupy your hands with something, such as a ballpoint pen.
