I’m not advocating lying, but there’s no way this comes up, at least not at startups. Do you think we sit at the bar and discuss potential hires university degrees? If someone told me “watch out man, Stu lied about his uni education” my response is likely to be, “why would you tell me that and why would you think I cared?”.
The gabber is going to look worse than the candidate by a long shot.
Careful who you gab about and who you gab to.
- skookumchuck 8y agoStartups involve a lot of trust between the members of the initial group. I wouldn't have anything to do with trusting my future to a professional liar. It's like marrying someone who cheated on their spouse. They'll cheat on you, next.
- rapind 8y agoI can see that I suppose. I'd avoid any negative conversation that named applicant's names with people external to the company though.
