It’s never OK to lie to a business.

why not?

How are they supposed to make an informed decision to hire you or not if you’re just lying about everything? Maybe you should start your own business and see if you like people lying to you when you’re trying to find good help

How hard is it to tell the truth? When I got my first job I walked straight into the place I wanted to work and stuck out my hand to the boss, I said “Uncle Mike, I’m ready to work” and he hired me on the spot. I was able to save up a few hundred thousand in the first year working there and after that I made some good investments, now I’m a successful landlord and business owner. Today’s kids don’t want to do the leg work.
