I had a strange interview at a big real estate company. The HR lady first asked me what settings I changed on my phone. I just made something up so I could answer. Then she asked when was the last time I lied. It felt like a trick question.
They said they would call me in a few days to tell me if I got the job, but I’m shocked and don’t think I passed. What would you say if they asked you about lying?
Thanks

    As a 30 year licensed MD Realtor, I can attest that nationally we have surprisingly high standards for integrity and ethics. The lawsuits are caused... by those that ignore them. So I can see this being a question to test integrity.  more

    They wanted your honest. Myb you tensed and knew that you were lying. At times during the interview you get similar response until you say. Let me now... try a unique question. So they judged you with how you responded. more

    You failed the test.
    The first question 'What settings you changed . ....' was asked to check 'your ability to keep company's internal information... (including intlectual property) secret even if influencial client directly asked for it. Perhaps best reply could be, 'Sorry thats a personal question'. And second question was asked to check your ability 'to handle pressure created by real blames by client (about you lying). more

    I question the maturity of anyone treating an interview like this. I think you replied well and maybe even are dodging a bullet if they pass

    Tell the truth you never go wrong. No need to panic or be anxious - if the job is yours , you will get it.

    You have the wrong mindset. they are not doing you a favor by hiring you. YOU are doing THEM a favor by offering to work and make money for them
