5 Things You Should Never Say in a Job Interview

Justin Hill

My copy editing class viewed a video by Don Georgevich who is a high performance job interview coach. Georgevich is also an author of 4 best selling books. The video which is on YouTube focuses on 5 things to never say in a job interview

• Don't talk bad about your previous company 

You should keep a positive outlook on your previous place(s) of employment. Even if you did hate your old job, you may have to lie. "You will get labeled cancerous" said Georgevich. Places of employment are not looking for anyone who bad mouths their workplace.

• Never say "I'll do anything" 

You should not shower the interviewee that you are desperate for a job. You should hold tight unto your values and be specific as to what you exactly want to do for the company.

• Never say cliche phrases such as "goal-oriented"

 If you have done previous things such as "being a leader," you should say "I have led people."

Put your accomplishments into context and let your actions speak for you.

• Don't say that you don't know how to do something

You should be willing to learn and show some type of understanding of what will be asked to perform. Georgevich insisted that you should say "let me think about it for a second."

• Don't ask what the company does

If you have to ask what the company does, then that means that you haven't done your research. This also shows that you have no excitement about the job. 

In the words of Georgevich "take that extra step before your next job interview and spend some time researching the position." With these 5 tips, you should be sure that you will land that job you desire.
