Even in your bible, Abraham lied that Sarah was his sister.
A little lie isn't bad, as long as that lie won't put others or yourself at risk, then it's fine. |

Title should be: How being righteous made me lose a job.
Secondly, does answering yes to an interview question make you righteous?
Who even told you that you're righteous? I do avoid candidates with this irritating mindset, and the hiring manager did well to deny you the offer.
Folks like you do more harm than good!!
You are yet to discover your problem. Keep wallowing on the delusion that you're righteous...

Haven applied for so many jobs and attended some interviews, I finally saw one graduate trainee job (my kind of dream job tho) as at January this year. Although is a banking job which is actually my dream job. I wrote their aptitude test which I passed. We were eight that was invited for their interview out of over 70 candidates that applied and I was lucky to be part of those eight. To the glory of God I scape through at the first stage of the interview. At the Final stage of the interview (One on one interview) was where my righteousness or should I call it "Being Truthful" deprive me of my dream job. You may ask how did I know, but the truth is, that is what deprived me of getting the job. I don't want to explain further on that just to cut the story short.
The question they ask me that lead to my disqualification was: "Do you know anyone in this bank?" And my reply was "Yes". And truly I know someone working there but he wasn't even the one that ask me to apply. I only came across the job and I applied. But I never knew I'm suppose to say NO, I also never knew the answer will snatched the job away from me.
After all the sacrifices, sleepless nights on night journey from one town to another, After almost getting an accident on these our bad road, not to talk of the time and resources I have invested in getting this job. look at my life?

Well, your story is not entirely complete!
From the best of my knowledge, knowing someone in a bank doesn't and will not disqualify from getting a job, the only exception to this rule is, if the person you know has the same surname with you(I.e., family related) and there are way's around this to get the job if you're qualified for it.
I've an uncle that's one of the top MDs in Sterling Bank and, he helped quite a few of our interested family members get a job even though it's same surname but different bank locations/states or branches.

Bro, it had nothing to do with righteousness. You said you did not know that the truth would get you rejected, so you said yes; likely thinking that it would help you in this man-knows-man society we live in. From the bolded, all the indication shows is that you would have lied if you had known that the truth was not going to be good for you. Righteousness would have been if you knew for sure that the truth would get you rejected, yet still went ahead to say it. 6 Likes 1 Share |

My dear friend the reason you didn't get the job was because it wasn't your dream job. Regret doesn't bring another opportunity, it brings more frustration and depression. I believe you already know what went wrong, learn from it and move on. You aren't under any curse or enchantment, neither is your village people following you. Greatness means more than just having it easy in life. Great people in fact never had it easy, pick any greatest person in history and carefully study his life you will see. We miss opportunity sometimes thinking it's all in all, like they couldn't be any way to possible way to make it apart from the opportunity just missed, but the truth might be that, the missed opportunity could have been your comfort zone. That would have stopped you from being announced or being that extraordinary person. God's love is for us all! 2 Likes |

The question you were asked was completely the opposite of what you gave as answer. The interpretation to the question is 'did anyone from this bank help you' as regard this job? and your answer was yes which was completely in opposite of the correct answer. You didn't process the question you were just in rush. It has nothing to do with righteousness because if you don't know anybody there your answer will be no which is correct in both sides 'your spiritual koko life and the correct answer'. 1 Like |

The bitter truth is that you didn't lose the job because of that. You most likely lost it because others did better than you or may be they got a strong connection there.

That job is not suitable for you. God is bringing something more suitable for you and it won't delay.
