Stop ⛔ Exaggerating Your Answers During Interview.

It may be tempting to present your career journey and achievements with a few or more exaggerations, but it's important to consider the consequences of doing so.

It is important to note also that exaggeration is a LIE.

When recruiters ask you a question, the answers are to be given intelligently and concisely instead of stating things that never happened or exaggerating them.

Example: You killed and Rat and when you are explaining it to a recruiter, you will tell them you killed a Dinosaur, this always happens when you are told to tell your strength or achievement.

Sample questions and how to answer:

1: Tell us what are your strengths.

Possibly Answer: I can quickly adapt to new situations and environments and I am comfortable working in a fast-paced organization where I can deploy my skills as seen in our conversation and in my previous organizations to add value to your organizations.

2. How do you handle Stress and Pressure?

Possible Answer: Avoid claiming that you have never or rarely experienced stress, rather give your answer in such a way that highlights various workplace stress and how you were able to overcome it and use it to your advantage.

Remember to adapt your responses based on your personal experience and give specific details that are in line with the role you are applying for.
