- chrispeel 5y agoIf a prospective employer asks for one's current salary, many encourage the interviewee to add some percentage, say 20%, under the assumption that when a prospective employer asks this it's an indication that they are going to lie about what they can afford. https://twitter.com/ChristianPeel/status/1443970373280620545 https://twitter.com/ChristianPeel/status/1443970373280620545

- zw123456 5y agoSomeone once said, the best lies are ones that the person you are telling the lie to wants to believe. I have seen many examples over the years where companies hire people and it is actually quite simple to discover what the hire said on their resume or in the interview was a lie. But very often, the hiring manager wants to believe it. Even after being confronted with the truth.
