We’ve all told a lie during a job interview. They have a job which will give you money so you can live. You will do what it takes to survive. Simple as that.
Apparently this isn’t common knowledge, because a career coach went viral on Tiktok explaining the main things you should lie about during a job interview.

Anna Papalia (@anna..papalia) has a Tiktok mostly focused on career advice. In this particular Tiktok she starts off,
“You asked for it. Here are five things that you can and should lie about in the interview process…”
5. Lie About Where You See Yourself In 5 Years
4. Lie About Why You’re Looking
3. Lie About Your Ex-Boss And Coworkers
2. Lie About Your Hobbies
1. Lie About Your Job Description And Title
And there you have it. Just tell the interviewer what they want to hear, because guess what, they just want the interview to be over too. Working sucks.
Obviously, Anna goes into more detail in the actual Tiktok.

What do you think about this? Is it morally wrong to lie in a job interview? Are you going to use these 5 tips in your next interview? I won’t tell anyone. I love lying. My family thinks I see Bigfoot at least once a year.
