Please lie about these 4 truths in your job interview

1. Why is there a career gap in your resume? 
“I spent this time taking online courses in digital marketing, which I believe will complement my skills for this role. I am now eager to apply these learning in a professional setting and contribute actively to your team.”

2. Why you are leaving your previous job? 
“While I valued my experience there, I felt that I had reached a point where I needed to explore a different industry that aligns more closely with my long term career goals.”

3. What is your salary expectation?
“Based on my research and experience, I understand that the industry standard for this position ranges from X to Y. Considering my qualifications and the responsibilities of the role, I am looking for a compensation package that aligns with these standards and reflects my contribution.” 

4. What are your hobbies/interests? 
Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga. Engaging in yoga helps me maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, which positively impacts my stress management and concentration. It also improves my flexibility and mindfulness, which contribute to better focus and mental clarity in my daily activities.

Being honest is important, but how you communicate your truth matters even more. Try implementing this strategy in your upcoming interviews and see how it positively impacts your candidacy.
