Do you know who that worker you just hired really is?
你知道你刚刚雇佣的那个员工到底是谁吗？
Job interviews have always demanded a pair of somewhat incongruous qualities: authenticity and polish. Interview guides urge candidates to put their best foot forward. Recruiters encourage people to be genuine, even have fun with the process.
求职面试总是需要两种有点不协调的品质：真实和精致。面试指南敦促应聘者展示出他们最好的一面。而招聘人员鼓励应聘者真诚以待，甚至想要他们在应聘过程中找到乐趣。
It can be a psychologically taxing combination of tips, compelling job seekers to wonder how they can simultaneously convey a real sense of their flawed, leave-dishes-in-the-sink personalities while also boasting of their abilities as a math whiz, polyglot, team leader, calendaring virtuoso or whatever.***
这可能是一个令人心力交瘁的建议组合，让求职者感到疑惑，他们怎么才能传达出自己有缺点的、“把盘子放在水槽里也不洗”的个性，同时又能吹嘘自己是数学天才、多种语言使用者、团队领导者、日程管理大师或者其他什么大师呢。
Some two-thirds of job applicants use deceptive ingratiation, and more than half admit to slight image creation.
大约三分之二的求职者会使用欺骗性的迎合手段，超过一半的人承认会进行轻微的形象塑造。

How likely people are to fall back on these practices depends on how much they want the job as well as how easily they think they can get away with the ruse.
人们依靠这些手段的可能性有多大，取决于他们有多想得到这份工作，以及他们认为采用这种诡计之后有多容易逃脱惩罚。

Persuading a friend to pinch-hit ring a technical screening is an extreme variety of interview fake-out. But organizational psychologists observe that interviewers tend to reward honesty.
说服一个朋友在技术筛选期间代替求职者面试，是一种极端的面试*。但是组织心理学家观察到，面试官倾向于奖励诚实的品质。

Interviewers are also getting savvier at detecting dishonesty. Meta, formerly *, has in-house psychologists who devise probing questions that would be hard for interviewees to fake.
面试官在察觉面试欺骗这件事上也变得更加精明了。Meta（原 *）内部有专门的心理学家，会设计让面试者难以伪装的探究性问题。

Still, the subtler stresses of the interview process remain: In a corporate culture where a popular term of art is transparency, how much of your true personality can you reveal before you are hired? Should you be yourself if yourself might not get you the job?
尽管如此，面试过程中更为微妙的压力依然存在：当“透明度”是企业文化的流行术语时，你在被雇佣之前，能展露多少真实的个性？如果真实的自己或许不能让你得到这份工作，你还应该做你自己吗？
