Dilbert: You look good on paper, but how do I know you aren't lying
about your skills? Interviewee: You should hope I am lying. Studies
show that people who exaggerate their credentials tend to be more
effective once hired. That's because misleading people is a valuable
business skill. For example, I might need to convince our customers
that our products are better than the competition. Or I might need to
dupe some idiot into leaving my cubicle so I can concentrate. Anyone
can learn technical skills, but lying is an art form. Dilbert: He
doesn't have an honest bone in his body. Boss: Perfect. I'll tell
Human Resources to send him an offer.
