I was involved in a class assignment that tested my firm resolve along the lines of integrity. During a major exam, I noticed two of my colleagues using the Internet to confirm their anwers, an obvious violation. Following the institution’s policy on academic honest, I hesitatingly reported them to the dean. Afterwards I received threats. At certain points, I was concerned if the school was actually enforcing its policies. As it turned out, during our next exam, those very same students were given the exam in a room separate from the rest of the class – without internet access.

Lesson: Even during the information age, honesty is still the best policy.

That is an awesome example of what I am talking about in this post. Let your sincerity and truthfulness come across in an interview. Too many people under-estimate the power of charisma, honesty, and trustworthiness. Thanks for your comment.

absolutely correct, in fact even i believe that honesty always pays.
