Major disaster, or am I just over-reacting?
So i got the number of this one lady working at a bank, from recruiters at my university.
Today i decided to call her, basically just to query about the various programmes offered at the firm. This was a completely informal conversation, but during she asked me for my name and details so that she can phone me at a later stage.
I kind of messed up towards the end, i lied. I dont know what came over me. I had no reason to lie and she never even asked me about my GPA.
She asked me if i had any other offers, i said yes (this is not a lie), then a few sentences later i told her i had a 3.7 GPA meanwhile my actual GPA is only 3.5.
Was that the dumbest thing i could have ever done, or am i just overreacting? this wasnt an interview or anything, i was just phoning to ask a few question.
better hope she didn't write it down...
Well it's not such a big difference. It's like they require you to have at least 3.7 so you lied to get over the border. If she does remember what you said just say you must of made a mistake. Just don't keep doing it.
It was stupid and unnecessary but I doubt it will sink you. If it comes up again just say 3.5 and if she questions you say you must have misspoke before. No big deal if you don't continue with the lie and make a paper trail (resume, application, ect).
Yea, that was really dumb but I can't really see it torpedoing your chances.
Dude, I am not sure - if she wrote it down it depends on her personality more than anything else Was she HR? Do you know what, if any, stated threshold there is? I think it is really only an issue if it changes you from a no to a yes based on threshold.
To be fair, it is was me and everything else stacked up I wouldn't really care in this context. If you had lied on paper etc (like another poster mentioned) then there would be a big problem.
