The assessors sitting there have to face that material every day and it is very easy to find out the cramped and natural responses. Respond in a natural and normal way, rather than copying the selected candidates or cramping bookish material.
4. Lying to the Experts – Most of the candidates speak out lies in front of the IO and other assessors. They are trained to absorb the lies and bring out the actual image of the candidate’s personality. If you are bluffing, then you are reducing your own chances of selection.
