What you should never say in a job interview

Job interviews are a time when nerves take over too often. That's why many people rehearse the answers to possible questions and prepare what they want to say. But they do not take into account what you should never say in a first contact with what could be your future company:

I'm nervous: Sure you are, but you can't say so in the interview. It denotes that you do not have confidence in yourself. It goes without saying that you are not as calm and comfortable as possible, but saying so is unnecessary.

I've been waiting for a while: even if it's true, nobody likes complaints. It also denotes inflexibility and lack of empathy.

What am I going to charge?: The first interview is not the right time to talk about money, unless the interviewer proposes it. If you ask it directly, it will give the feeling that it is the only thing that matters to you and even if it is, it should not seem so.

Holidays and schedules. You haven't started work yet and you're already thinking about the holidays? A very human behavior but that can make the interviewer think that you do not like working very much. Nor should you ask if you often have to stay after the working day or if in the case of finishing work you can leave earlier. The interviewer might think that you don't feel like working more than strictly necessary. You can deal with this matter later, once you have been given the position.

Will I have my own office? It will seem that you are interested in being secluded and calm to do what you want or that you want to be above others. It is a matter to be dealt with in subsequent negotiations.

Weak points: surely they will ask you the typical question about your defects or weaknesses, which you should have properly thought out and prepared. A question, obviously, to which you cannot answer 'I have no weak points'. But outside of this moment, never point out your flaws.

I need it: Never talk about how much you need the job, if they see desperation they can take advantage of it to lower the salary or conditions. Don't mention your financial situation either, even if it's desperate.

negativity. Even if the sector where you want to work doesn't quite work out, the last thing they want is someone to remind them. Nor is it worth alluding to how bad "everything" is, in general. The company looks for solutions, not excuses.

Politics, religion, sport. These are personal and highly conflictive circumstances that you should not mention in a job interview. If they ask you directly, offer an ambiguous answer or indicate that it is part of your privacy.

Ummmmm, ummm and other sighs. It denotes nerves, insecurity and lack of communication skills. Fatal defects for according to which jobs.

I have done well? This question shows insecurity. If you are rejected and want to get feedback from the company, send an email asking what you could have done better.
