I once came across a topic about how HR professionals can identify lies during interviews, but I personally believe that one should be completely honest during an interview; this way, there’s no need to feel nervous trying to hide something (after all, everyone gets a little nervous). I’m not sure if my view is entirely valid For example, when I applied for a job, the company asked for my university transcript. I gave them an actual transcript – my college record – and explained why my record indicated that no degree had been awarded (because I failed the College English Test Band 4 during my studies, whereas now I can communicate fluently in English with customers and colleagues). I’m not sure if being honest like this will get me into trouble Expert answer: Experienced HR professionals can easily spot lies; through a few sequential questions, it’s simple to expose any lies told by job applicants. It’s easy to make up a lie, but it’s more difficult to keep making excuses for multiple lies; eventually, when it becomes impossible to cover up the lies, one will feel very stressed ； Of course, body language and gestures can also be used to help determine whether a candidate is lying. Integrity in interviews is indeed very important; it is also a necessary requirement for many companies when selecting talent. As for transcripts and degrees, they serve as the basis for employers to select talent, but they are not the only factors ； According to the survey, among the 15 options for \"the factors your organization values most when hiring graduates,\" the top ones, in order of importance, are comprehensive abilities (60.17%), personality and attitude (53.39%), impression during the interview (33.9%), major studied (27.97%), academic grades (14.41%), and foreign language proficiency (11.86%). Family background or origin, place of education, level of education attained, and the social reputation of the graduating institution rank last, third, fourth, and fifth respectively. It is evident that academic performance and foreign language proficiency are not the most important factors; rather, ability and attitude are what matter most ； Integrity is an important part of your work attitude; therefore, your honesty will not only avoid trouble for you but may also help you succeed in your interviews. Of course, it is also necessary to package oneself appropriately on the basis of honesty; it is a process of refining and packaging that can increase one’s chances of success in job hunting. Packaging is not about dishonesty; it’s about presenting yourself in the best light to employers – and it’s the key to your success.
