A staggering 100 per cent of people admitted they would stretch the truth during a job interview in one way or another, a University of Guelph study found.
It’s no exaggeration to say that if you currently have a job, you likely told a few fibs or bent the truth a little to land it.
“It’s not that surprising. It’s fairly common,” Jordan Ho, the lead author of a study, told CTVNews.ca over the phone. “I think not a lot of people would consider to be deception in the first place.” “What was unique about that scenario was that … they were willing to use to the highest extent,” said Ho, a PhD candidate in university’s psychology department.
“But if you’re racing against a small number of people like 10, people will feel more competitive because you can see where all the racers are relative to you,” he explained. “You can see how hard they’re trying, how far behind you are and you might be more motivated to compete.”
