Describe the moral ethical dilemma that you encountered dilemma provided in description
Helen wants to move to a new community, and she is applying for a job with a small retail establishment. She is confident that she is fully qualified and will be able to perform well if she gets the job. The employer, however, has advertised for someone with three years of retail experience, and Helen only has two-and-a-half years. She is considering whether to exaggerate slightly on her resume in order to improve her chances of getting the job.
Helen asks three friends to offer their advice on what she should do.
Henry says, Go ahead and claim three-and-a-half years of experience; they’re going to be so happy with your work that by the time they check (if they ever do) it won’t matter.
Jennifer says, I’m sure you’ll arrive at the best decision on your own; I’ve always known you to be an honest person.
George says, It is never all right to lie, even when you are unlikely to get caught and it seems relatively harmless to do so.
