Here are 13 things you should never say in a job interview

1. Here are 13 things you should never say in a job interview:
"I'm really nervous."
Even if you're more nervous than you've ever been, no company
wants to hire someone who lacks confidence. "So, in this case,
honesty is not the best policy," says Amy Hoover, president of the
job board TalentZoo. "Fake it 'til you make it!"
"Let's talk money."
Never discuss salary in the early stages of the interview process, Kerr
says. "Focusing on the salary can raise a red flag with potential
employers that you are only there for the money and not for any
deeper reasons," he explains. "More and more, employers are looking
for people who align with their mission and values." Negotiations can
and should be done after (or at the very end of) the interview phase.
"My weakness is I care too much/work too hard."
Of course, you should "never voluntarily talk about your weaknesses
unless they ask you with the standard interview question, 'What's
your biggest weakness?'" says Kerr.
And if you are asked this question, stay away from these answers.
Everyone knows they are masked strengths, and they are largely a
turn-off to any interviewer who has been around the block, says
Hoover. "You should spend time thinking about what your true
weaknesses are and admit to them."
"I really need this job!"
Don't give any indication of desperation. "And definitely do not say
that you really need this job due to your current circumstances," Kerr
says. "Employers may view desperation as a sign of weakness, and,
again, they want employees who are seeking a long-term career, not
merely a job."
"My current boss/employer is horrible."
Never, ever criticize a former boss or company. "Even if the
interviewer invites you to, don't," Hoover says. It's not classy, and it'll
make you sound bitter, negative, and petty. "It also shows that you
could badmouth any boss or company in the future - and it could
even be a test to see if you will say anything disparaging."
"I need..."
Don't make the conversation all about your needs. "This is the time to
talk about their needs and what you can do to help fulfill them," Kerr
says. "Talking about your needs will flag you as someone who is
potentially going to be high maintenance and challenging to work
with."
"Do you know when we'll be finished here?"

2. You should never give the impression that you're in a hurry or have
somewhere else to be. "What could be a 30-minute interview might
turn into a 90-minute interview if all goes well, and if you seem like
you have somewhere more important to be, the interviewer will
definitely be turned off," Hoover explains.
"I love the perks you offer."
"Don't bring up how much you love some of the company's perks,
such as their policy of having every third Friday off or their free
snacks," says Kerr. "Again, this will create the image you care more
about the benefits than you do about contributing to the employer's
success."
"I'd rather not say."
Unless the interviewer asks you an inappropriate or illegal question,
or something that makes you feel extremely uncomfortable, you
should always answer their queries.
"A job interview is never the time to play the 'no comment' card,"
says Kerr. "It will make you look like you have something to hide or
are unprepared."
"How much paid time off do I get in the first year?"
"You don't want to give the impression that you intend to take all
your sick days and miss as much work as possible while still getting
paid," Hoover says. Leave that type of question until follow-up
interviews or conversations with HR about benefits, she suggests.
"S---, d---, f---, etc."
"As obvious as this may be, don't use curse words or slang terms in
an effort to come across as 'authentic,'" Kerr says. "You'll only give
the impression that you have poor communication skills."
Hoover agrees. "Never swear. Ever. Even if the interview is over
drinks after work and everyone around you is swearing. If it's a very
laid-back scenario like happy hour, find PG words to use, and use
inflection and body language to make your points."
"I'm getting divorced/pregnant/going through a tough time."
Kerr advises against bringing up any personal issues or problems.
"This can be viewed as a major red flag for a whole host of reasons,
not the least of which being the question as to whether your personal
challenges are going to affect your job performance."
"I don't have any questions for you."
When asked if you have any questions for them, don't say "no." "This
makes you look unprepared for the interview, or worse, disinterested
in the job or company," Kerr says.
