Positively, of course. But it is also better to be truthful than to blatantly lie. Some employers will actually call your previous boss and ask them. If you are caught in a lie, that will be a big strike against you.

As an Employee one is expected to give out certain amount of output as he is paid for this job.For any person when it comes to making payment for anything he will always make a Cost Benefit Analysis.

With respect to the question as to how to explain would be simple as providing the scope which was assigned the time and cost which were put to work and the feed back received for the same.It aids in if there are some concrete evidence or statistics which are not leading to breach of Duty and confidenciality available or else in one to one communication the confidence itself speaks for the person.

It is perfact to mention the same to potencial employer as he has not seen you work and in the small amount of time to Judge a person there is every possible chance of not being able to evaluate another person in total so make use of every available opportunity to communicate your own abilities.

It doesn't hurt to tie your past accomplishments to the needs of the prospective employer, and that takes a little research on the company with which you're interviewing. For instance, if you're interviewing for a deadline-driven, largely independent working position, highlight accomplishments by which you were your able to guide a project by yourself and meet tight deadlines.

The employer wants to know that you're a good fit for his company and that you'll have what it takes to steer the ship, so to speak.

In this article talking about what an interviewer is really asking (http://www.fpcnational.com/interviewer-really-asking.html) it highlights that in almost all cases they want to be able to understand you better to be able to project what your impact on their company would be.

Think about the interviewer's perspective - they want to know how hiring you will impact their company and the bottom line. Hearing about your accomplishments is nice, but what they really want to know is how each of those accomplishments, or the skill or drive to have had those accomplishments will translate into their company being more successful. I hope this is helpful to you.

Answer the question with an example of an accomplishment or goal reached that would show a skill or ability that the employer is looking for. For instance, if the employer speaks of working on teams, then try to relate your accomplishment regarding a time you had to work on a team and what your role was. Be sure you are able to talk about the good and the bad.

If this is for an interview do research on BEhavior Based Interviewing. It works on the presumption that someone past experience will indicate future performance. Be ready to answer questions regarding specific instances. Practice answering these questions before an interview - be ready with several different examples. A good interviewer will ask you to talk about positive experiences and negative.
