so im filling out a job application and there are the following questions i know they are trying to get me to slip up on so how would you guys answer them
YES
or
NO

1.If you found $100 that was lost by a bank truck on the street yesterday, would you turn the money over to the bank, even though you knew for sure that there was no reward?

2.If a person took some money from the place where he works for a good cause and paid the money back with interest without being caught, do you think he should tell his boss and take a chance of getting fired?

3.Did you ever think about doing something which, if you had done it, would have been a crime?

1st) yes you would take the moral highground. 2nd) no, i wouldn't steal in the first place, 3rd) yes you think about the consequences of your actions. make sure you write those reasons down next to the yes or no,. Don't let them set the game with their applications.

i dont know what companies are thinking when they make these questions anyway., anyone who would be honest probably wouldn't get hired. If i looked at it and they said they said no keep the money, no, dont risk getting fired, and yes, i think about taking **** all the time., i would probably be "**** this persons honest., and i can trust them, because they wont lie to me.

There is no wrong answer. If you give them the answers they are looking for, you would look like a manipulative liar.

Just answer honestly.
