Interviews: Is it OK to lie at job interviews?

We all know that looking for a job is very hard work. If you make it to the interview, you want to look and sound your best. But is your best good enough? What happens if you stretch the truth a little? Some people say companies expect you to lie about some things.

Using "work" in interviews

In interviews, you will often have to talk about your work and your working life. In this test, we focus on statements you can make using expressions with "work".

Is it ever OK to lie in a job interview?

Companies lie to employees. Politicians lie to the public. There’s nothing wrong with lying to get a job you know you can do. Is it ok because everyone does it anyway? But maybe your lies can stop you from getting the job you want and come back to haunt you.
