Getting ready for a job interview? Good for you! Once you have your outfit chosen and you’ve done some research on the company, it’s time to clear your head and get ready to show off your best self. Check out these tips for what not to say during your next job interview:
- What does it take to get promoted? Focus on the job you are applying for – you can talk promotions down the road.
- What’s the salary? Save this for when you have been offered the job.
- “I don’t know” and “That’s a good question”. Pause and give yourself a minute for a well-thought response.
- Don’t lie. Be completely honest about your qualifications, but also explain that you learn fast.
- I don’t have any weaknesses. Be real and own your flaws! Also explain how you work through them and how you’re prepared to grow.
