Sometimes, we forget what we’ve learnt and done. Interviewers may assume that job seekers still remember and “maintain” the standards.
When the new employee can’t perform up to the standard as listed in the resume, the company can actually fire the employee on the grounds that the employee lied in the resume. Once the employee is caught with adding spice & salt (and other tastes), it’s harder for the employer to trust the employee.
Sure, job seekers may think that’s how they got a job & good perks. If they take proactive steps to learn to be up to and reach the standard in the resume in time, that’s fine. If not, it’s seriously going to affect the performance review (and salary increment).
It’s better to be honest – so that you can evaluate the job & the company/interviewer knows if you are going to fit like a glove for the job. At least if you don’t get the job after the interview, you’ll have another interview experience, learnt more about the company and the industry, know which job task you would like/not like, etc. It wouldn’t be wasted, being honest.

At a company’s dinner, there was a long show by sheboys who had sexier bodies and better dancing steps than real women. In some of the songs, 1 of them climbed onto a table in at least 3″ stillettoes and danced! And she did it ever so gracefully! Even women can’t do that..
For several songs, the lead mime singer went off stage and danced seductively in front of the guys seated at the center and front tables. Some flipped their skirts, waved their sleeves while the guys laughed, pushed them away or just sat there enjoying the attention.
There were 2 dancers who were more “active”. 1 of them kissed a guy and pressed her boobs onto his face. The other sat on another guy’s lap and grabbed his hands to press onto her boobs. WTH?!
It was funny to some people because the guys were not into being grabbed, kissed by these sheboys or wanted to touch the sheboys like that. On the other hand, it was disgusting! How could they – they are females now – they should respect their bodies and self, not degrading themselves further as sex objects?!
This works both ways. People should stop viewing them as ah kua or jokes. So should the males sex-changed to females stop viewing themselves as ah kua and sex objects. Now that they are females, they should uphold the standard that they are classy ladies!
There were a few attendees who complain, “That’s so not right to perform at corporate function. Too sexual!”
A female bellowed, “Where are the men for us?! It’s not fair! I want men to dance like that to me also!”
