Job Interview Questions: This is a job interview etiquette question...?

If you worked for a company, and performed illegal actives per their order. Would this be something to mention or even boast about at a job interview?

Tips For Job Interviews - Common Job Interview Questions and Answers



Recommended Answer:
No, dont mention it and dont brag about it....
There is a common interview question that I personally have encountered twice. The question is: "would you bribe someone to get your word done if that was beneficial to the company?", and the right answer to that question is "No"

Personally, I beleive that any success that is not based on principles is just temporarily and will fade away eventually. An employer would never want to hire an unprincipled employee as well, because he will never know when he will turn against him.

Good luck in your interview.

Job Interview - Best Prep Questions


  • Did you get caught performing these illegal activities? If you didn't I would suggest you don't bring it up in a job interview. Companies don't want to hire someone who performs illegal activities, regardless if the activities were your idea or not.

  • This is an interesting question and I'd love to know your motivation for asking it. Obviously, no - it is bad etiquette, and not very smart because it is not only self incriminating but reflects badly on the person's character. Either the person has a skewed view of what employers want and misguided sense of right and wrong - or for some reason they think they are interviewing with a company that expects them to perform such activities.

    If I were interviewing this person, they certainly would not get the job.
