Bluffs, Lies, and Grey Areas

This lesson documents some of the negative fallouts a candidate can face when making incorrect or false statements when engaging with a potential new employer.

Unfortunately, not all of us possess strong morals and values. A minority of unscrupulous candidates will not hesitate to misstate their current compensation, title, role, etc., in order to influence an offer. Given this occurrence is not uncommon, we wanted to apprise the readers of the consequences one can face when indulging in falsification. For the record, we strongly discourage our readers from making any fabricated claims during the interview or negotiation process.
