Question tricky question

hi friends
I would like to share an experience of my friend in an interview.
After a long interview the interviewer asked him finally whether he speaks lie or not?
Then my friend said that he always believe in truth,since truth always prevails over lie!So he hardly speaks lie!

then the interviewer asked him if the company wants him to speak lie(for the sake of company).Then will he lie for the company?(this lie is purely for the sake of company.It may hurt others).
What should b the ans:

bye

Re: tricky question

This is really tricky.

Our response should be very smart.

You can say,

"If the act is not putting me in any kind of legal trouble, then I don't mind lying for the company”

Anyways, such questions are asked to put some pressure on you and observe how you sustain it. They will not make you speak lies and generate revenue for the company.

Re: tricky question

One way of answering this could be as

"I would explore ways of solving the same situation by speaking truth without affecting the company in any manner. Because I strongly believe that if a situation could be won by speaking lie there would be atleast a way of winning the same situation by speaking truth which I would definetly follow and solve the situation."

Re: tricky question

yeah...i'll lie.... but in such a way that the other person will not get a chance to say that i lied to him....i'll lie to him in a tricky way in which even he wont get hurt and also he'll not have a chance to prove that i lied.....

Re: tricky question

It totally depends how effectively and in what manner one speaks. (As everybody knowingly or unknowingly is telling a lie, as what information the person is having / beliving). There are always diplomatic ways to handle.
