They want to know how flexible you are. No one answer suits this question hence your need to reason like a politician. Provide a diabolical answer such as "I value integrity and I will prevent putting the company in a situation detrimental to it's integrity", and stick with your answer even if asked for a definitive 'yes' or 'no'. That's my own opinion though. |

All these people saying 'i will not lie' or 'how can a company with prestige as me to lie' blah blah You do realise the company literally lies every day, right? And that half that lie is to make sure you get decent salaries at the end of the month, right? How many of you get income from other sources outside your primary place of employment? Do you declare them for tax purposes? So let's say you're interviewed by a tax official and are asked to 'declare', would you? You lie every darn day, either out rightly or by implication as a party to a lie told on your behalf. Get off your high Horse P.S The only instance I've seen companies tell boldfaced lies have always been with tax officials. |

eleojo23: Gbam! .... Very true. The question is a booby trap by d company 2 test the integrity of d candidate. You tell dem 'yes', den u r a 'arsenal'., u don go be dt! They merely want 2 know if u will compromise (under pressure). Dhur! Who wants to hire an untrustworthy/unfaithful fellow in d 1st instance. |

Niyeal: Hmmm... tough one especially if you're very broke, but I'll answer "I wouldn't, because the Integrity of a company isn't built on lies but trustworthiness' |

Henrypraise: lying is obviously wrong. you sincerely appealed to the Christian faith. I must say your answer is most appealing for now.. I once said in an interview that I am a Christian and my favourite quote was a passage from the bible. I immediately got the interview who happened to be a pastor, trying to decipher to verse. Thumbs up though |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by charles009(m): 9:41am On Sep 12, 2016 |
The answers I see here are just one dimensional. Now as insincere as it seems, and as unethical as it may be. Sometimes you have to lie to douse tension or rather what we call withhold of information. I happen to be a PR of a multi national firm. I got a call from punch news paper sometime demanding answers that our soap badly scared a customer? Now what would your response be? |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by padi94(m): 9:42am On Sep 12, 2016 |
My response wud be that 'i will only tell the lies if and only if its company policy' |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by henryboff(m): 10:17am On Sep 12, 2016 |
I would respond in this way "as an employee of company XYZ, I will do everything in accordance with the laws of the country in which we operate and laid down policies of company XYZ. If any policies of company XYZ are against laid down national laws and my own ethics, then I would have to say that I am not the right person for the job and withdraw my application." |

Mobi47: Pls stop spreading lies, who told you that Peter was the first Pope in Catholic Church. |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by sekundosekundo: 10:26am On Sep 12, 2016 |
femi4: And Peter was never a Pope. |

BlackAfrican:My dear, it is not a dumb question. It is a question designed to critically test the interviewee's true personality. Back to the question, my answer is No because integrity has nothing to do with lie and your company has an integrity profile. |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by Peterosky(m): 11:19am On Sep 12, 2016 |
This is a technical question that must be approached with caution and wisdom.Lets say in your CV or resume,you listed honesty as one of your qualities and this question pupped up during an interview but simply said yes just because you are desperate and think dats an easy way to get the job.Its a sorry situation cause u will end up not being hired.Have you considered that any man that will tell lies to safe the integrity of yhe company can also tell lies to run down the company by way of duping the company? Or do you think the interviewers are fools?.No,they are testing to see the kind of person they intend to hire.So be wise in answers. |

KingRex1: Your comment is fantastic but I don't know if competence should have been there. It is workforce that make up a company. Attribute of competence and integrity goes to the individuals that work there. If I may add mine, I will replace competence with reputation or goodwill |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by KingRex1(m): 12:49pm On Sep 12, 2016 |
greggng: Nice.. But I already considered these two u added n it sums up to prestige. Looking at competence, it shows proficiency in work done n vision. |

weedtheweeds: She use to be his sister but from the day they decided and agreed to be husband and wife she became his wife. So Abraham actually lied. Ask yourself what was does he want to achieve by saying she was his sister? And why did he say that? |

Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by akinsammy(m): 3:16pm On Sep 12, 2016 |
I believe integrity can only be protected by truth. This is because integrity is the mother of truth. Therefore, my lies ll only dent d integrity of ds company. |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by osmond1995: 4:15pm On Sep 12, 2016 |
My answer would be no, cos the company would say if you can lie to protect us then you can lie to us |

sekundosekundo:The writtings of the early christian and pretty much any historic material from around that time on d subject all claim peter was the first bishop of rome i.e pope. |
Re: How Can I Answer "Can You Lie To Protect The Integrity Of This Company?" by sekundosekundo: 12:26am On Sep 13, 2016 |
Ubenedictus: My dear stop deceiving yourself, the history of all the apostles of Jesus Christ are there for you to see both their earthly ministry and their death all are recorded in the Bible. Popes don't marry but I believe apostle Peter was a married man. |
