Honesty is a tough one, especially when living in a world that expects people to tell employers what they want to hear just to get decent work.
When I am interviewing people, I always appreciate when the candidate is honest about their experience - or lack of experience.
If I ask about something and they openly say they never did that, that's a green flag. I want to see people are honest about where they don't have experience, because being honest about gaps is an important trait for when they are actually on the job.
On the other hand, if the candidate has something literally written on their CV/resume as a "strong skill" but then when I ask about it they struggle and try to bullshit their way through it, that's the opposite. If someone is happy to lie to get the job, they'll probably lie when they're on the job too.
I wish the HR managers I ran into were more like you.
Thanks :)
