面试须知:这四件事上一定要说真话

面试的基本原则是诚实原则，那么在面试的时候到底能不能撒些小谎呢？这要因事而论，不过下面这四件事，你最好不要在面试官面前说谎，不仅是因为很容易被阅人无数的HR识破，而且对自己未来的前途也不利。

1.I do kind of live here

1.我在这里有住处

If you've used a different address on your résumé to tailor it to where the job is based, don't lie about it when it comes up in the interview. If your potential employer asks you where you live, tell them where you currently live, but let them know that you're willing to move for the job. The problem with this lie is you may have several rounds of interviews and you'll have to keep flying back and forth for them. If they think you live in the city, they'll probably give you short notice for interviews and those last-minute flights can be really expensive.

如果你为了应聘某个工作而在简历上修改了你的住址的话，那么在面试的时候，如果说到住处的问题，你最好还是不要隐瞒。如果你的未来雇主问你住在哪，你可以告诉他们你现在的住址，但是让他们知道你愿意为了这份工作而搬家。对现住址撒谎的后果是：在之后几轮的面试中，你不得不当空中飞人来回奔波。如果未来雇主认为你就住在公司所在的城市，他们就可能不会提前很久通知你下一轮面试，而临时购买机票往往是很贵的。

2.I make so much more than my real salary

2.在薪酬上虚报

If your interviewer asks you how much you made at your last job, you may think it's a white lie to fudge the numbers a little. However, some employers ask for a copy of your W2, so you may want to be cautious about giving a fake amount because it can be construed as unethical. If you don't want to cough up your previous salary, let it be known that you don't think it has any bearing on this new job and cite the typical industry number.

如果面试官问你上一份工作的薪酬是多少，你是不是想多报一点呢？但记住，老板很有可能问你要你工资条的复印件来核实，如果你虚报的话，那么雇主就会觉得你缺乏职业道德。如果你不想谈及自己以前的薪酬的话，那就告诉面试官，你原来薪酬多少不会影响到这份工作，或者就给出该行业的平均薪酬就好。

3.That's totally my GPA

3.你的平均成绩是多少

If you think that inflating your grade point average will get you the job, you may want to reconsider. Some companies request a copy of your transcript or verification with the school, especially those with job positions that require a minimum GPA.

如果你觉得把平均成绩说高一点，会让你获得这份工作，那么你要三思了。有些公司，特别是那些要求最低平均成绩的公司，在询问了你的成绩后，会向你索取学校提供的平均成绩的副本。

4.I didn't get fired at my last job

4.我不是被炒鱿鱼的

Given the bad economy, there are plenty of people that have been laid off so don't be afraid to let the interviewer know. Try not to go into the details, and let her know what happened and what you learned from the experience.

鉴于现在的就业市场不景气，很多人都是被裁员的。所以，不要害怕让面试官知道你是被炒鱿鱼的这个事实。但不要说得太具体，让面试官知道到底发生了什么事，你从上一份工作中学到了什么就够了。

Remember, the general rule of thumb is to be honest during your interview. It's different for everyone, but if you get asked uncomfortable questions, there's always a polite way of refusing to answer.

记住，面试中的黄金定律是要诚实。要求每个人做到诚实也是不太现实的，不过如果你觉得面试官的问题让你不舒服，那就婉拒回答这个问题就可以了。
