Halachos of Interviews

From Halachipedia

Selling Oneself

Arrogance vs Humility

  1. Based on a precedent set by Rav Moshe Feinstein, a prospective employee is required to reveal all relevant information that a interviewer would not inquire about due to reasonable mistaken assumptions, otherwise there is an issue of genevat daat (deceptive behavior). [1]

False Advertising

  1. It is forbidden to make oneself look younger than one really is for a date, job, or other age-restricted pursuit.[2] One must not allow others to believe that one is a bigger scholar than one really is.[3] This halacha is contributed from Pa'ot Hashulchani.
