Hiring managers are wrong <93% of the time

93% of candidates lie in an interview (what Google says anyway). The odds are, a hiring manager is more likely to hire the liar than the candidate who tells the truth that they don’t have X or Y in their experience belt. I’m so f\*\*\*\*\*\* tired of being honest and getting dinged for it. I interviewed Tuesday and the hiring manager emails Wednesday saying, “You didn’t have experience \[doing the easiest part of the job literally anyone can do - go kill yourself for being honest\]” - obviously not verbatim, but it felt like it. My past 3 interviews I was dinged for honest answers. I rarely cry, but this one hit different. Changing my tact to pathological lying (a former habit I could easily reinstate) is starting to look appealing.
