    A couple of leading questions would soon reveal the perfidy. Best to be honest but show willingness to learn.

    Best never to lie - even if you aren't found out you can't hide it from yourself.
    I would rather recruit someone genuine and keen to get on.

    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................

    There was a bit of a scandal about personal statements, at one time: that several applicants appeared to have had the same interesting things happen to them.

    It reminded me of Woody Allen's sketch about drowning, when he was so insignificant that someone else's life flashed before his eyes.

    Still, you have obviously been reading Pharmanaut's posts on this forum, where he has offered tips for getting other people on this forum to do your work experience for you............
    ....just my opinion
