Lied in interview [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I had an interview for an HR position and I lied in the interview by saying that I had worked in 2 big companies in the same position. The truth is that I did work for those companies but not in the same position as the new job I was interviewing for.

I claimed this because I really want the job and it is what I'm dreaming of. Now they have asked me to provide a certificate to prove the years of experience I have claimed. I haven't been accepted yet but they will inform me next week.

I don't know what should I do? If I tell them the truth, I'll definitely lose the job.

What you should do: stop being a liar. You're not going to get this job, or probably any job with that company in your entire career as they'll have blacklisted you as a liar. Neither I nor anyone else care that it's your "dream job": lying on a job application is just about the worst thing you can do. You should have considered that before constructing your web of lies, not afterwards when you've been found out and it's all starting to collapse around your ears.
