Your thoughts on lying to get a job

stbruno:

A close acquaintance of mine was let go from her position because she was a “whistle blower” about some unsavory and illegal practices of her former boss. She worked for this company for over 25 years as well. Since then she has a new job and she is so much happier about it. The job pays a little less, but there are no longer any back door policies that she has to live with…when one door closes…God opens a window. Keep praying on it.

I sure hope that window opens for me too. Please pray I find a good job.
Thanks.

Hello,
I’m only bringing this post up because I feel I should let you know that I interviewed this past Wednesday and told the hiring manager the truth about my last job.
The funny thing was he really didn’t even ask about it, I just ended up blurting it out. I don’t think it hurt my chances at all. I will not know until Monday. Even if I do not get the job I still won’t feel like what I told him had any factor in the decision. I did feel good being honest with him.

God’s will whether I get the job or not. If I do this means an entire new career for me, I’ve decided to move out fo Biotech and into the Human Services field.

God Bles!
Joe

My advice is to go to your college placement office or to Job Service and talk with a counselor. A counselor will advise on what to say and not say.

The internet is not the proper place to get advice on this type of problem.
