If You're Asked This Popular Job Interview Question, You Should Lie When Answering, According to a Life CoachOne TikToker is going viral for her not-so-ordinary advice about lying during an interview.

Lying on your resume or in a job interview is usually frowned upon, but according to one life coach, lying when answering this one popular interview question might be your smartest move — and the masses seem to agree.

Career coach Tashe Gray is going viral after giving rather unorthodox advice to viewers to "professionally lie" when asked the question, "Tell me about an obstacle that you faced, and how you overcame the obstacle" during a job interview.

"Just lie. There's no way for them to verify the story at all. All you have to do, number one, the obstacle that you name you got to make sure it's a juicy one," Gray says. "Make sure it's a very interesting obstacle. Number two, speak clearly. Don't stumble, you need to know the words that you are going to speak before you speak them."
