RIGHT: Tell the Truth
Duh. Just be honest. If you’re not an seasoned expert in a certain coding language yet, for example, tell the software engineer who’s interviewing you about the Python class you’re taking. Let them know you plan to finish the course whether they hire you or not, because you’re genuinely interested in it. Most smart hiring managers will appreciate a demonstrated willingness to learn over a dubious list of qualifications on a piece of paper.
