What should never be said during a job interview?

“I’m a dependable, hard-working person.” (Does that really need to be said? If you’re not dependable, and if you goof-off all day, don’t you get fired quickly?)

“I’m a people person!” (Bleah!)

“I’m pro-active, detail-oriented, and have problem-solving skills.” (These are overused, deflated, and meaningless phrases. All you’re really saying is, “Well, I’m not a chimpanzee.”)

“So, like, how long do I need to, like, be here every day and, like, how many breaks will I get?”

“Ooh! Sorry, but I need to take this cellphone call.”

“Do you ever press charges?” (Ok, I tossed-in that one for fun.)

“Are you cool with me showing up drunk or hungover?” (Ditto)
