Understanding Ethical and Legal Considerations
No, it is not ethical to withhold information when applying to a company/business – especially if you intend to leave them once college starts. It is unethical because it does not adhere to principles of accountability, honesty, fairness, etc. It is unfair to the company/business and other applicants who deserve the positions just as much. However, to apply ethically, the applicant could ask the company representatives if any part-time jobs are open or discuss the issue with them and see if there is any way to work around it.

Exercise 1: “It is late April, and you need a summer job. You see an ad for a potential job on your town’s news website.

Is it ethical to apply for the job without mentioning this fact? Why or why not? If you believe it is unethical to withhold that information, is there any ethical way you can apply?”
