Lying and scheming

By samantha711 - 10/11/2009 02:28 - United States

Today, I found out that I didn't get a job because I failed the psychological analysis. It told me to answer each question and tell the truth. So I did. I asked my friend, who got the job, if she told the truth. She said no. Apparently you have to lie in order to get a job. Sorry for being honest. FML

Have you ever looked at child ****? Op: Uh, she was 15... I mean 18... I mean...oh god! Have you ever sexually harassed your employer Op: I wish! I mean, I wish that happened... no didn't happen... no... wait... can we erase the last ten minutes. I don't think we are looking for someone like you. Op's Friend: I am a christian, with magical powers, and I can fly, so I will always be on time. Also I never sleep with people, I am like a plant, I don't need food just water and sunlight. So put me by a window, give me some coffee and I will never sleep. I am always honest, honestly.

Do you get along well with others? ... No. Do you tend to have violent mood swings? .... Yes. Are you clinically depressed? ... Sure as shit am. Have you ever had a restraining order against you? ... Who hasn't? Do you take any illegal drugs? .... **** yeah, why, you lookin to buy? Sometimes honesty just is not the best policy.

OP, maybe you should ask your friend if when she took this exam it was an oral, & she was on her knees.

I'm hoping for you that youre this stupid because you are young

It's a dirty little secret that yes, you do have to lie on these things. In mere point of of fact, I applied for a job at Blockbuster once, and when I was done, the people behind the counter asked me whether I'd been honest or told them what they wanted to hear. I said I told the truth (sorta kinda anyway). They laughed, and said that I should have told them what they wanted to hear. Trufact: I later interviewed with them, but they didn't offer me a job until it was too late for me to take it. Another bit of evidence for the whole argument; my job which I have now. In my rehire application (school being the interruption) I told the honest truth because I figured it would only be entertaining statistics and I was kind of annoyed to have to take it again, and my boss called me in a panic the next day and had me redo it right then. I'd failed it and it wouldn't even allow her to override me in. So. Short version, OP. Yes, sometimes you lie to get a job.

Obviously. The only diffrence between crazy people and not crazy people is that not crazy people know which things they do that seem crazy and crazy people think everything they do is normal. This allows not crazy people to identify what they should and should not admit to doing.

Like yourself, I learned the hard way that honesty isn't the best way to go. I told the truth and almost lost my ability to be a pilot. The truth hurts, in more than one way. Sorry, OP. =C

That's a tough one, but I would suggest you keep being honest. Many people, even in the business world, really do appreciate that.

This sounds like mcdonalds they have personality test for you which a computer bases whether u get hired or not. Don't worry that why most mcdonalds are for stoners / losers / and drop out :)

Just because you didn't get the job doesn't mean you have to lie to get it. Quit being a baby and move on.
