hiring

From this hiring manager's perspective, it seems like a good reason to discount an applicant if their mom keeps answering the interview questions. For another tale of an overreaching parent, here's a parent who hired a private investigator to check out their nanny. On the other side of things, here's an applicant who got to call out a company's horrible interview process.

Depending on the job, it can be important to gussie up your resume with a few buzz words and projects you had a hand in, but some people take it too far. And no one wants to be in the embarrassing position of having to admit you lied on your resume to a potential employer. Hiring managers see some real wtf moments during interviews.

Someone on AskReddit asked for hiring managers to share their biggest WTF moments with applicants in the hiring process. If you show up for a job and proceed to babble on about how excited you are to work with your exes, you're not going to get very far. 

After-school television always told us that lying is wrong, and that telling the truth is always the best option. So you can see that we're in a bit of a moral bind here, given these stories where lying helped people immeasurably.
