Although it is illegal to discriminate me against others for medical record, but they can always do that without disclosing the reason for not hiring me, since i refused to tell them. That is my worry. I would not know why I'm not hired, they may give me another reason like I'm not good enough, i am afraid of that risk.
When you mentioned lying, are you referring to the 'europe travelling' in my first post before or something else?
And I appreciate your response and suggestion. I will prepare my answer ahead.
Yes, it depends on the interviewer and the type of jobs. What is your job? If it's just a regular job, then you can say whatever you want. I'm referring to CFO, CEO, professionals, accountants, lawyers, analysis, political, consultant, managers etc. If you're not in these fields, then it's alright to say whatever you want.
Often time I read in the times, politicians, news broadcaster and other people who held important position were caught previously lying. For example, Brian Williams resigned from CNN when he was caught exaggerating his statement. And Bill Clinton's lied does him more damaging than his affair itself.
But like I said, it depends on the position itself and it's up to you how to want to structure your story.. if it's a position that requires integrity, ethics and trust, then the worst you can do to yourself is being caught as a lier.
