Question

Nora wants to be a buyer for Marstons Stores. She knows that they are looking for outgoing, social people. She purposely tries to present herself as an extrovert on the personality test that she takes even though she is shy and retiring. What is the likely result of this?

Answer 1

Answer: She might get the job, but later find out that she is not happy with the job role.

Explanation: First of all, Nora's personality is a total opposite of what the job required. She is an introvert and may later find it difficult to be outgoing and socialize with people. She will not be able to maintain the personality she claimed to have for long, sooner or later, the introvert in her will make her unhappy with the job.

Secondly, Nora is retiring, she should not be working at this stage, this will also be a problem later on in the job. It will also make her unhappy.
