Unfortunately, I’m not good at making things up or embellishing the truth. I’m far more inclined to downplay something than exaggerate.
I’m literally someone who took an inch off my height on my dating app profiles because I have slightly bad posture and didn’t want to misrepresent myself.
Both. I think knowingly misleading people (or allowing them to be misled by omitting key information) is wrong. There are exceptions, but I’m more strict on this than most appear be.
As a result, I don’t have a lot of practice at it, and the very act makes me feel incredibly anxious.
Well these are skills you can develop if you like.
And remember that the interview process is a game of hiding information from the other player. You would likely never tell an interviewer about the worst thing you’ve done in your professional life just like the interviewer will likely never tell you about the ways the company has fucked over previous employees.
