How to fake in an interview and succeed?

Luck! You can either consider them lucky or you unlucky.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -Brian Kernighan
I think am following : To be at not good path there are hundred ways and to be at good path there is only one path. It proves to be unlucky for some like me :)

I never succeeded in faking myself in an interview neither in my resume ? But some do and succeed !! What makes them to tick ? Is that a talent by birth ?

One of the most frequently asked questions in interviews in India for fresh candidates (just out of college) is : "Will you stay with us for long, if we select you? Or do you think you'd want to jump into a bigger company?" 100% of the candidates answer : "Yes, I'd stay with you for a long time. I want to get the experience of working in a small company" 99% (approximate) of these people jump jobs 3-6 months after they are hired :-)

What matters is whether you are happy or whether you will be happy doing all those tricks. I personally can not.

What exactly do you mean by faking? To answer, "I am totally a team-person" to "Do you enjoy working in a team?" may not be a 100% honest answer for a lot of people - but they still have to say that. You can't say, "I hate working with other people" and expect to get a job. Another such example is to answer, "I love working for small companies" when asked "Will you stay with us long time, or will you jump to a bigger company?", and to jump at the first opportunity you get. Both the above cases are instances faking (or saying lies), but that's how it is. Of course, it'd be totally wrong (and dumb) to claim to have 7 years of COM experience, if the first time you heard the term was last week.

Magic tricks. Just makes coins disappear and reappear and your interviewers will be so astonished by the distraction, that they won't be able to prove you're a fraud.

Why are you even trying? Just learn the material and get your skills up. Even if you fake it through an interview, prepare to be canned in the next 3- 6 months.

Though a little bit of a different situation they asked me that in the interview for my current job and I said I wanted to spin out with the project, not stay with the incubating company. They liked that. Also, being on an annual work permit means it is even likilier I won't be sticking with them. They don't mind though what with being a research firm. People come and go here a lot, not out of disatisfaction but just the way the firm is.

eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.
