Job Interview Tips: Things You Should Never Say in Interviews

“I don’t know much about your company.” => Shows zero interest or preparation.

“I just need any job right now.” => Sounds desperate, not motivated.

“My last boss was terrible.” => Complaining = instant red flag.

“That’s not really my responsibility.” => Employers look for ownership, not excuses.

“I don’t have any weaknesses.” => Unrealistic and overconfident.

“How soon can I get a salary hike?” => Timing matters—too early can ruin chances.

“I didn’t prepare because I was busy.” => Signals poor time management.

Using slang, casual tone, or phone distractions => Professionalism is always noticed.

Remember: What you say matters as much as how you say it.

Think. Pause. Speak Smart. => Your words can make—or break—the job offer.
