13 Things You Should Never Say In A Job Interview`
Babu Appat
Aside from submitting a resume full of typos, the quickest way to be eliminated from
consideration for a new job is making an avoidable interview blunder — like putting
your foot in your [email protected]
"Every year we see more surveys and polls come out listing some of the crazy things that candidates do or say in job
interviews," says Michael Kerr, an international business speaker and author of "You Can't Be Serious!
Putting Humor to Work."[email protected]
"So, it's very clear that some people still haven't received the memo:
What you say in an interview matters immensely.
It's your audition!" [email protected]
Hiring managers use the interview to gauge your fit for the job, your
creativity, your ability to think on your feet, your emotional intelligence, and
your [email protected]
So it's important to remember that it's not just what you say that counts, it's
also how you say it. [email protected]
"Your tone of voice and body language will be watched closely as yet another indicator as to your overall fitness for
the job at hand,"[email protected]

Even if you're more nervous than you've ever been, no company wants to hire someone who lacks
confidence. "So, in this case, honesty is not the best policy," says Amy Hoover, president of the job board –
“TalentZoo”
"Fake it 'til you make it!" [email protected]
2
Never discuss salary in the early stages of the interview process. "Focusing on the salary can raise a red flag with potential
employers that you are only there for the money and not for any deeper reasons,"
2
"More and more, employers are looking for people who align with their mission and values." Negotiations can and should be
done after (or at the very end of) the interview phase.
3
Of course, you should "never voluntarily talk about your weaknesses unless they ask you with the standard interview question,
'What's your biggest weakness?'. [email protected]
3
And if you are asked this question, stay away from these answers. Everyone knows
they are masked strengths, and they are largely a turn-off to any interviewer who
has been around the block. [email protected]
3
"You should spend time thinking about what your true weaknesses are and admit
to them." [email protected]
4
Don't give any indication of desperation. "And definitely do not say that you really need this
job due to your current circumstances,[email protected]
4
"Employers may view desperation as a sign of weakness, and, again, they want employees
who are seeking a long-term career, not merely a job.
5
Never, ever criticise a former boss or company. "Even if the interviewer
invites you to, don't,"[email protected]
5
"It also shows that you could badmouth any boss or company in the future — and it could even be a test to
see if you will say anything disparaging."
6
Don't make the conversation all about your needs. "This is the time to talk about their needs and what you can
do to help fulfill them," [email protected]
6
"Talking about your needs will flag you as someone who is potentially going to be high maintenance and challenging
to work with."[email protected]
7
You should never give the impression that you're in a hurry or have somewhere else
to be.
7
"What could be a 30-minute interview might turn into a 90-minute interview if all goes well, and if you seem like you have somewhere more important to be, the interviewer will definitely
be turned off,"[email protected]
8
"Don't bring up how much you love some of the company's perks, such as their policy of having
every third Friday off or their free snacks,". [email protected]
8
"Again, this will create the image you care more about the benefits than you do about
contributing to the employer's success."
9
Unless the interviewer asks you an inappropriate or illegal question , or something that makes you feel extremely uncomfortable,
you should always answer their [email protected]
9
"A job interview is never the time to play the 'no comment' card,". "It will make you look like
you have something to hide or are unprepared."
10
"You don't want to give the impression that you intend to take all your sick days and miss as
much work as possible while still getting paid,".
10
Leave that type of question until follow-up interviews or conversations with HR about
benefits, she suggests.
11
"As obvious as this ma y be, don't use curse words or slang terms in an effort to come across as 'authentic,'" "You'll only give the impression
that you have poor communication skills."[email protected]
11
"Never swear; ever. Even if the interview is over drinks after work and everyone around you is
swearing.
11
If it's a very laid-back scenario like happy hour, find proper words to use, and use inflection and
body language to make your points."
12
"This can be viewed as a major red flag for a whole host of reasons, not the least of which
being the question as to whether your personal challenges are going to affect your job
performance.“ [email protected]
13
"This makes you look unprepared for the interview, or worse, disinterested in the job or
company,"
So, remember these points Face interviews with clear thought
You’ll surely be successful
