Things you might not want to say in an interview

Don't say these things

  • "co-worker of the female persuasion"
  • When asked about motivating/persuading resources; "I would trick them"
  • When interviewing for an IT job you tell the interviewer that you like the business side of things
As I get others I will post them.  

My Tips

  • In general don't say negative things about previous co-workers or companies.  Talk about the challenges you faced and how you improved things.  
  • Make sure you cut your fingernails if you are a man.  
  • When asked to give a specific answer make sure you do.  
  • Don't go on for 10 minutes about how one of your co-workers did something.  I want to know what you did.
  • When asked a question don't start off your reply with a joke.  My goal is to find out if you are the right fit for the job and not how funny you are.
