In the fast-paced, cutthroat realm of the corporate world, the pursuit of the perfect job can often feel like an exhausting marathon. Job seekers navigate a labyrinth of application processes, interviews, and rejections, all while striving to stand out in a sea of resumes.
Recently, one Tiktoker, Bonnie Dilber (@bonniedilber) posted some relevant advice along with the other career tips she posts on her page.
“There are three things that I need you to lie about in every interview.”
First: Lie about why you’re leaving a toxic workplace.
“If you’re leaving your job because you really dislike it, because you don’t get along with your boss or your colleagues, you’re going to lie about this,” she explains. “Please do not tell them that your boss doesn’t like you. Don’t tell them that everyone’s really hard to work with. All they’re going to hear is you are difficult to work with.”
Second: Lie about why you want the job.
“Look, y’all. Like 100 percent of people who want the job want it for the money and benefits,” Bonnie continues. She explains that telling an interviewer you want the job for the money is not a “unique” answer, and “it’s a big red flag to them because they think that’s all you care about if that’s all you can come up with. Instead, you’re going to tell them why you’re passionate about the company’s mission, why this job is your life’s work, and why you’re such a good fit for this company.”
Third: Lie about your plans for the future.
“Your plans are to be at that company,” she says. “Your plans are to come in and knock it out in this role and continue to grow as opportunities arise. What every company wants is top talent that is going to stay and grow with them.”
