29 words you should never say in a job interview

It's very useful article by Jacquelyn Smith,

Aside from submitting a résumé 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 mouth.

"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 "The Humor Advantage." "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!"

Hiring managers use the interview to gauge your fit for the job, creativity, ability to think on your feet, emotional intelligence, and attitude. It's important to remember that it's not just what you say that counts, but it's also how you say it.

"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," says Kerr.

Here are 29 words you should never say in a job interview:

'Nervous'

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 Talent Zoo. Don't tell your interviewer how nervous you are or were before the interview. "Just fake it till you make it," she says.

'Money,' 'salary,' 'pay,' 'compensation,' etc.

Never discuss salary in the early stages of the interview process, Kerr says.

"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," he says. "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 end of — the interview phase.

'Weaknesses' or 'mistakes'

"Never voluntarily talk about your weaknesses unless they ask you with the standard interview question, 'What's your biggest weakness?'" says Kerr.

And don't bring up mistakes you've made at work, unless you're talking about them to show how you've made significant improvements.

'Need'

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," Kerr says. "Talking about your needs will flag you as someone who is potentially going to be high-maintenance and challenging to work with."

And definitely do not say that you really need this job due to your current circumstances, he adds.

"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," he says

'Perks' or 'benefits'

"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," says Kerr. "Again, this will create the image you care more about the benefits than you do about contributing to the employer's success."

'Terrible,' 'horrible,' 'awful,' 'hate,' etc.

You shouldn't use negative language during your interview — especially when you're talking about your current or previous boss or employer.

"Even if the interviewer invites you to, don't," Hoover says. It's not classy, and it will make you sound bitter and petty. "It also shows that you could bad-mouth any boss or company in the future — and it could even be a test to see if you will say anything disparaging."
