Job Interview Questions: Should I lie on my job interview?

This is going to be my first job interview and I'm having trouble trying to get a job because most places I know would deny anyone who's just seeking for a summer job. My siblings told me to lie and say I'm just not working for the summer. But I do not know, any suggestions?

What to Do Before, During and After a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
lying is just a STUPID idea and eventually will come back to bite ya'
the types of employers that will consider your application regularly hire for the summer only..............

your problem getting a job is going to be your maturity and the fact that you are considering lying does not bode well for you.........
grow up quickly, to get a chance you must be able to show through words and actions that you are NOT like most minors who are looking for a job, many employers have had bad experiences with minors as employees, you are going to have to prove you deserve a chance.

Some Common Job Interview Weaknesses and How to Address Them

• I think you need to step back for a moment and think here.
  
  First of all, what are you planning to do over the next year or two?
  
  If you have a long term career aim , and are making plans to get qualifications for a particular type of career, then you may want to look around for work or an internship that will help you to gain some basic experience in this field. In which case the role will be expected to only be for the summer.
  
  If you're looking for a way to make some easy cash for the summer, then many of these kinds of jobs are often taken by students and companies expect them to leave or go part time when education start again in the autumn.
  
  On the other hand, perhaps you're going for a job that has longer term prospects, and you'd like to leave your options open- if the job works out, you stay, if it doesn't you go back to school/college/uni.
  
  So- I don't know how old you are, what the job is, or anything about your situation, but do give the whole thing some thought.
  
  In any case, any job will have a contract you sign, that states how much notice you should give of leaving- might be a week, 2 weeks, a month, and if you give the agreed notice then you are free to leave.( the employer has the same rights to give you notice to leave). So don't feel guilty about leaving, as long as you give the agreed notice!
  
  PS making a big assumption here that you're school/college/uni age- otherwise why would you only be looking for a summer job!


• It's never a good idea to lie. If you do, and then you leave at the end of the summer, they'll be pissed--but more than that, you wouldn't get a good reference, and you never know what could happen down the road. Maybe someone from this place knows someone at another job you interview for, or even ends up working there. You don't want to get the reputation as a liar.


• if you could lie and get away with it and also lands on the job than do it but if you think you might get caught than don't. It all depends most retail hardly ever do any kind of background check so you anything you say is ok, but if anything else I would not recommend. Morally you should not but hey can someone really go on a day with out lying?


• What difference does it make if you tell them you plan to stay when you know yourself its temporary? They can't do anything, and of course nobody will hire you if you say you only want to work temporary. So yes, lie you fool!


• I would lie. If you want to quit at the end of the summer just make something up. Give them 2 weeks notice and leave in a positive light.


• say who you want a part time job, then quit & say school got too hectic to maintain a job
