Lie about your qualifications for a job if your survival depends on it?

Asked by jackofnotrade (11points) December 24th, 2009

I’ve been on the other side of the interviewing table where I’ve received resumes from candidates who were not qualified or they had lied about what they had done before. If you ask enough questions, you can usually figure it out. But sometimes you can’t. Now I’m thinking about doing the same because my survival is on the line. Lying is not easy for me but you gotta do what you gotta do, right? I can learn on the job. The worst consequence I can think of is I don’t get the job and maybe someone gets mad at me. Better than ending up on the street, right? Is it really such a bad idea? I think I can do most jobs as well as anyone can so everyone goes home happy, right?
