1. "I Hated My Last Boss."

Refrain from expressing your hatred about your previous boss during the interview because this can leave a negative impression on the interviewer. The interviewer will question you further about the reasons for your hatred. Therefore, in order to avoid inappropriate questions do not show the interviewer that you disliked your boss.

2. "I Don’t Know Anything about the company."

You should be well-informed about the company in which you are applying. “What do you know about the company?” is a very common question asked in almost every interview. Saying you know nothing about the company can leave a bad impression on the interviewer.


3. "No, I Don’t Have Any Questions For You."

Saying that you don’t have any questions regarding the company or the work, shows that the candidate is not much interested in the job. Therefore, keeping in mind the company’s objective, prepare some questions that you can ask the interviewer.

4. "I’m Going To Need To Take These Days Off."

At the initial stage make sure that you don’t keep your personal commitments in front of them. This is the very early stage and you should avoid mentioning the days you need off early from office because they then might perceive as if you think you already got the job.

5. "How Long Until I Get A Promotion?"

Never directly ask “How long until I get a promotion?” especially at the initial stage. However, the same question can be asked indirectly by asking to clarify and give details about the career path to follow in order to reach a good position. Moreover, you can research more about good opportunities.

6. "Are You An Active Member In Your Church?"

Avoid unnecessary conversation because this can lead controversial topics. However, it happens that you might be asked questions about your personal likes and dislikes but try that this discussion does not go too far.

7. "As Lady Macbeth So Eloquently Put It …"

Don’t learn answers by heart because it does not impress the interviewer rather leave a bad impression on them.

    Do people really care if you know anything about their company?

    Good suggestions…

    However, I’m surprised by your less-than-stellar grammar and the fact that you didn’t proof-read your blog. So, add this to your list – “always double check your resume and other correspondence to a prospective employer.”
