Personal Integrity enables you to deal fairly with others and guides you when decision making is difficult. In a job search, It means keeping your word, being truthful on your resume and employment applications, and avoiding manipulation of people and circumstances.
You cannot DO integrity; it is a state of BEING that impacts your character and soul.
No matter how much you may try to conceal your actions in a job interview, integrity or lack of it will always be exposed. Focus on developing your character and enhancing integrity instead of building your image or status.
Personal Integrity takes courage. It gives you the confidence you need to be successful in your job search, even in the face of opposition, disappointment and rejection.
A person with integrity is real and has one self at home, work and with family and friends. He or she has a unifying set of core values that guide choices of action regardless of the situation.
To build credibility and establish trust with interviewers and hiring managers, don’t abandon your beliefs and values just to get a job—any job.
Consider hidden intentions and motives, respect yourself and expect and receive the respect of prospective employers in return.
