Understanding the Right to Lie in Job Interviews

Candidates may legally lie in response to certain intrusive questions, but honesty remains crucial for allowable queries.

Job interview questions must relate directly to the role's requirements, focusing on the candidate's skills and qualifications.
Questions about personal matters such as family plans, political views, or health status are generally considered inappropriate and unlawful.
Candidates have the legal right to lie when faced with inappropriate questions, as these do not impact the hiring process legally.
Exaggerating skills or experience in response to permissible questions can lead to serious consequences, including termination for deceit.
Candidates are advised to diplomatically address inappropriate questions and document them for potential legal action if discrimination is suspected.
