322: Mislead an Employer for a Foot in the Door? | Feedback Friday

Mar 6, 2020

You finally landed an interview with a high-end Italian furniture company for a position that falls in line with your career aspirations. You're super qualified except for one thing: the job posting listed "fluent in Italian" as a requirement, and you're definitely not. Should you be up front with them and let them know immediately that you don't speak Italian but say you're willing to learn it, or should you accept the interview and tell them you're not fluent when you meet with them in person? We'll try to find answers to this and more here on Feedback Friday!

And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

  • Is it ever worth it to mislead a potential employer to get a foot in the door with the intention of making things right later?
  • Your parents had an acrimonious divorce and your mother holds it against you that you still talk to your father. How do you draw the line in communicating with your mom?
  • When it comes to taking classes online, you've become an expert at gaming the system in ways that might be considered cheating. But isn't this just being resourceful?
  • You've disappointed a mentor by taking time out from your studies for self-care. How can you salvage the professional relationship while not putting your mental health at risk?
  • What's it like to bust counterfeiters for fun and profit? Here's a perspective you might enjoy if you dug the recent episode with Kris Buckner.
  • Life Pro Tip: Forget to take your vitamins every day? Put a small Post-it style calendar next to them, which will give you an at-a-glance reminder.
  • Recommendation of the Week: Narcos Mexico Season 2
  • A quick shout out to Tomas Conefrey!
