Interview tips number five: be honest. It is of course tempting to present a version of yourself which is impressive, and this can often lead to a desire to stretch or embellish the truth. By all means big yourself up at a job interview in a manner which is forward but not arrogant but do not say anything which you cannot fully substantiate. Nine times out of ten it will be obvious that you are being less than truthful and you will be caught out, making you seem ridiculous rather than laudable. Even if you are forced to admit ignorance or lack of experience, it does not have to be a negative thing: coupled with evidence of a willingness to learn, such honesty will come across as integrity a shining quality which will result in numerous jobs and opportunities opening up for you.
