Sometimes coming out clean could save the day. Lies destroy and people hate being taken for a fool. There is nothing hidden under the sun and it would be more insulting to a client that he/she was lied to rather than being told the truth and knowing how to go around the hurdle. I.E You don not have a product due to a delay, you could let the client know and ask if he/she would not mind waiting. Then be the one to recommend to your competitor or even get it from there. Make it clear to the client that you have his/her interests at heart and would rather aid than delay. In this world of greed you could just have won a loyal one. |

Although lying is not good, but at times some one need to lie e.g Abraham in the Bible lie to save his life and God did not complain. |

Haaaaa i swear you will never get the job, they just tested your integrity and you failed, if they ask you that question, you should just say something like, its against my belief to lie, I am always loyal to any company i work for, i would do anything within the power of the constitution to keep the company, but i dont see myself breaking the law.

I think they are trying to evaluate your negotiation skills/ integrity. Well, my answer would be, I don't need to tell a lie to protect my organisation as I believe the truth may come open later which may affect the reputation of my firm. I would rather find an appropriate means/ system to come to terms with whoever or whatsoever through proper negotiation. 1 Like |

Tbillz: the answer is no because one it is unethical to lie, secondly, a good company wouldn't have to lie to promote itself, thirdly, the lies can only get the company temporary importance, but even if in the beginning of the company things dont go well, in the long run there will be improvement. |

Saying u will not tell a lie is like saying that u are a saint that u have never lied before, also saying that u will lie because of the organization simply means u are a criminal in the making so the best response is to avoid a direct yes or no answer For example |

The best responsive to give if am in that position to answer that question is to tell them that, I would do everything possible to protect the image of the company and also do all thing possible that will not destroy the image of the company. I wouldnt use the word I will lie or I will not lie... simple. |

I can't lie to protect my organization simple. That's where I praise the adviser to d president on media n pub Mr. Femi Adeshina. His is difficult job having to keep laundering d image of d president n defending his actions n inactions with lies. |

My core value in life is "Do it Right". I can never tell a lie to save an organisation. It's tantamount to compromising integrity just to grab a job. I would rather not play the harbinger of lie to an organisation just for saving. I would also ask the interviewer why such a reputable organisation as theirs would want to go against business ethics, a trade symbol that will ultimately affect processes. |

Two answers to choose from on this: As a human, I believe that in some situations, making the wrong choice is better than making no choice at all. If lying will save my employer in such circumstance, then I would be left with no option than to protect the interest of my employer. I am of the personal conviction that integrity and truth saves any circumstance,person or organisation in which it's applied. I will stick to the path of integrity. |

It depends on the official position of the organization on the issue in question. In this case I spoke the official position and not a lie. |

Point blank. God's word has commanded us not to lie. So that be. I will rather keep my faith with my God than tell lies to protect a circular organisation, if I am relieved of my Job, heaven will plant my feet somewhere else. |

SimpleJetty: True. A lie does not save an organization in the long run. Employers believe those with integrity do not see lies as saving anyone in a long run. And if you can lie to safe an organisation, you will also lie to safe yourself. |

Any Company that wont employ you because you wont lie to protect them is not worth it at all. When the chips are down eventually,they will disown you and you will face the fire alone. You cant build a lasting career on an organisation that is built on a faulty foundation. |

Tbillz: Guy, no no try at all. Liars are liable to go to hell. If it is a company that has integrity as a core value then there a problem. I remembered the first interview I had after service where I was asked ; what will you do if after the interview and you get a call from Mobil to resume? I replied that I will join Mobil and supported it with diplomatic points. I was the only person taken in the last interview because other people said they will neglect Mobil offer and wait for the company to take them. I got to know this when I joined them. Try to be honest in your interview. 1 Like |
