Companies value employees who show integrity, offer honest feedback and can be trusted with sensitive information. However, some things are better left unsaid to protect people's feelings and privacy. Talk to the interviewer about your thoughts on honesty in the workplace.

"Sometimes full disclosure can damage someone's self-esteem, and reality isn't always best expressed in full and can be self-indulgent based on a person's intention. In those instances, honesty isn't always the best policy. However, when it comes to offering feedback and an employee's ability to be trusted, honest is very important."

I believe that honesty is always the best policy as long as the message is communicated in a helpful and non-judgmental way. I will model ways to be honest with my students without hurting their feelings so that will be able to create and shape their connections with their fellow students, family members, and friends.
Marcie's Feedback
Great! Being honest is important but so is communicating with tact - and you explained both of these concepts beautifully in your answer. Good job! To further strengthen your answer, is there an example you can mention of a time when you were tactfully honest with someone?
