That's all well and good, but when you look at it from the interviewee's perspective he/she has to determine, based on what little knowledge they have of the interviewer, whether or not they want to hear the bullshit answer or your preferred, realistic version of the answer. Right now, it is probably a safer bet to stick to the bullshit answer until more interviewers like yourself swing the tide back over. In the meantime, however, you could be missing out on great applicants that have just been programmed to give you the bullshit answer by the sitting majority.

- fburnaby 17y agoThis only applies if you're not hungry, or getting booted out of your apartment in a month.
- cjoh 17y agoI agree-- if I get a non-bullshit answer (which happens, rarely) then all the better. I mean, it is a tremendous strength to be able to acknowledge your flaws to an employer and be open and transparent about them.
