Had a very interesting interview with someone responsible for hiring recently. Toward the end of the interview, the questions began to concern my moral stance toward cheating. I have a feeling I should have declared my eternal willingness to help students pass by hook or crook. Instead I took the high road and may therefore have flubbed it?

Dear ganesh77,

I very much doubt it. In all cultures - but perhaps even more so in the Middle Eastern ones - hypocrisy is rampant. What you say you do and what you really do often bear little resemblance to each other.

Administrators will usually declaim against cheating - and then will ask you to "help" certain students pass.

Regards,
John

If you flubbed it for that reason then you've had a narrow escape.

Did they say when the job starts?
