That's very cynical.

A job interview is where you show exactly who you are and if you do this the job will last a long time. If you lie you set yourself up for failure.

I've gone to a job interview and I saw how disorganized the computer shop was and I remember answering to, Are you here for the interview? I looked around at the mess. I knew I would be fighting this every day and that I would be cleaning it up. I answer, No.

I do understand the sentiment. Especially when your interview is with an HR who knows nothing about the job you will do.

It's always better to interview with who you will be working under. Tell the truth. I've interviewed for low positions and in the interview I was actually hired for a higher position because I didn't lie. I also have not been hired because I was honest.

Practice interviewing. Interview for jobs when you don't need to change your work! This is a great way to hone and own your soft skills.

Build confidence in who you are. If you are ashamed then you need to build on that truth, too. You don't need to disclose information that has nothing to do with the job also. Again, practice interviewing when you don't need to get a job. When you do need to get a job, remember that it's just sales. Sell your good not your bad.

If that happens its a disaster for the company.
