“Liars Never Prosper” – A Comment

There has been some discussion today concerning my last two blog posts, Do You Dare Lie? and Don’t Be Too Honest?
Here is a comment from one of my readers:
I remember lying in an interview one time. The interviewer first told me that the company was a smoke-free environment and then asked would I have a problem with that? I said “no” because I did not smoke. (LIE) He looked at me a minute and then ended the interview nice and polite with “we will call you for another interview with the department manager” (LIE). He never called and it was not until years later, when I quit smoking, that I realized cigarette smoke lingers in your clothes especially when smoking on the way to an interview with a trench coat on and the windows rolled up (chuckle) Needless to say liars never prosper!
Here is a testimonial about lying. How do you feel about this story? Was this fair? Was this unfair? Any lessons you can learn from this readers story?
Here is a thought – The hiring manager asked this candidate, “Would you have a problem with a smoke-free environment?” The candidate said, “no, because I don’t smoke.” If the candidate in this story had just said “no” and left it at that, there would have been no need to lie. In this case, the question was about environment not about whether or not she smoked, and yet she lied and it cost her an opportunity.
In this case, the lie was about smoking. What will you choose to lie about? I would love to hear from more of my readers. Have you ever lied in an interview? What happened and what was the outcome?
