Is It Important To Disclose Your Employment Status In An Interview? by kendological(m): 10:15am On Oct 24, 2019 |
Hello all, is it reasonable to tell an interviewer/prospective employer that you are currently employed? Although you are willing to take up their offer? |

Yeah, so they won't think you're desperate. If they ask you why you wanna leave, tell them you need a bigger pay check. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Yes of course, as long as you have a very good reason why you will be leaving your current job if you were to be employed. And never make a derogatory comment about your current job... 16 Likes 1 Share |

Most of employers prefer candidates who are currently employed and are switching careers than those with no job at all. Having a job at hand boost your chances. 18 Likes |

I see people saying there are rules or regulations to get jobs. There are none. Just be yourself. If the job is yours, you'd get it. Pray for God's Grace too because the best candidates are usually not hired. If interviewer don't like you, you ain't getting the job no matter what you say or didn't say. I once attended a bank interview in jeans and short-sleeve. I talk rubbish for that interview and I got the job. I also attended an interview with one of the big-four audit companies in brand new Italian suit and leather shoes; I interviewed the interviewer and she was selling her organization. She promised to set up an interview with one of the partners. I didn't get that interview and I didn't get the job. So if you are employed, say so and say why you are leaving. Don't bad mouth your current employer and most importantly, know when to walk away from an interview in style if you feel you are being undervalued. One thing these HR experts don't say is that hiring is determined by their moods. 22 Likes 3 Shares |

Bro.... you don't volunteer information that may reduce your chances. If asked... then you answer...yes I am...period. It's for the interviewer to then ask follow up questions.... not for you to say where you work...position you hold etc.... they didn't ask all that. If you currently work... it can be seen as you not being stable... if hired... you will be looking to jump to another job and wouldn't be committed to the company..... but it can also be seen as you have work ethics.... experience... and is up to date with present day work expectations. 1 Like |

mikezuruki: My brother, no he small thing oh. Even me sef dey ask myself why I was able to pull that stunt. Over-confidence is really key. But one must be careful so as not to be viewed as an idiot. There was another one sef, I talk something to the interviewer, the guy begin dey doubt himself. Me know for my mind say I no even understand wetin I talk. All in all, na God hand dey arrange these things. I have seen brilliant candidates struggling to get jobs while not-so brilliant ones change jobs because they know how to engage and tap the Grace of God. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Yes. Especially if you are not a recent graduate. For someone that has been out of school for quite some time you are expected to be seen working - fully employed, underemployed, volunteering etc. It will show the potential employer that you have added value to yourself since graduation. The reason you need a new job is to change level, or long for more challenge or security. On the other hand if you appear not doing anything it will raise concern on the mind of your potential employer. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Well...it depends on the requirements on the job adverts. There are some adverts where it is expressly stated that they need someone to start immediately so it is left to you to decide what you want to tell your interviewers. But if the advert did not require someone who must resume immediately, i think its advisable to state that you are working so as to make the HR/recruiter know you have some knowledge/experience. Moreover, no employer is ready to employ a dummy. Employers want people who can work with minimal or no supervision 3 Likes |

Freemanbobble: Saying anything would not get you a job in any good company. That shows no filter between your brain and tongue....you're likely to say things that will do damage to the company. Speaking the truth is what one needs to do...not speak anything. On saying you smoke weed.... a weed smoker can be preferred over a cigarette smoker because a cigarette smoker is an addict and will have to be taking frequent breaks to go smoke..... would spend hours per day away from his work if he is a chain smoker. So don't take it to mean the job was there for you anyway... regardless of what you said 1 Like |
