There are a lot of rules out there on what you should do in interviews, but what about what you shouldn’t do? Here are seven things you absolutely should not say in job interviews if you want to increase your chances of securing your dream job offer.
Share to twitterI can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say, “I’m good at interviews.” If you feel comfortable talking to others, you probably think you’re good at interviews, too. But the reality is this: most people who think they’re good at interviews, aren’t – especially if they’re not getting job offers to show for it.You might be saying the wrong things in job interviews and you don't even realize it.
Words stick, so even if you don’t have much experience in a particular area, your language still matters. Go straight into the experience you do have or the skills you have that will enable you to be an asset anyway or that shows you’re well equipped for the challenge. Whatever you do, don’t preface your statements with those words.Your current salary has nothing to do with your future salary.
On the other hand, if you’re currently working elsewhere, jumping the gun and saying you’re willing to start without putting in your two-weeks notice signals to interviewers that you’ll probably leave them hanging the same way in the future. It can also make them wonder how valuable you truly are in your current role since you don’t seem to have any projects or responsibilities you need to tie up before resigning and starting at a new company.Please, spare us.
