Applying for a job which one is not fully qualified for
Q: I want to ask that earning from an intercede job is halaal or haram? I mean one was not fully qualified for a job I mean government is equipping clerks in schools. The criteria is a good typist and they prefer to inter pass student. While one can type but not according to demand and is metric pass and doing his intern. So he applies for that job and and a famous man intercedes on his behalf and he gets selected so earning from that job will be halaal or haram?
Speaking lies to get a job
Q: I have two questions and it is about Haraam or Gunaah and they are as follows:
1. I took admission in degree course with the help of some source though I did not clear the entrance exam and also based on that qualification I got job. Please tell me is it Haraam or Gunaah?
2. Also I worked in 7 companies. I lied in 5 interviews about my experience. Please tell me whether it is Haraam or Gunaah and if it is Haraam then does that mean everything I have earned and spent after that is Haraam? If it is Gunaah then one solution which came into my mind is that start learning or doing something from my parents money and try to earn a living from that. Is it possible that Allah will consider it as repentance.

Employer cheating the customers
Q: I am working in Singapore. I am in charge for some oil carrying ships of a company. I would prepare the ships technically to run smoothly. But I don't involve myself in the operation department. But my boss cheats the customers by supplying oils short. For eg: instead of 5000 MT, 4600 MT will be supplied through the help of the operation department. Kindly advise whether my earnings are halaal? Though I am not involved myself in these activities, I feel that my earnings are haraam and my duas will not be accepted.
