🚫 What NOT to Say in a Job Interview βœ…
https://directitrecruiting.com/2025/08/16/what-not-to-say-in-a-job-interview/

As a recruiter, I always coach candidates to:
πŸ” Research the company
πŸ’¬ Speak positively about past roles (even tough ones!)
⏳ Save benefits/comp talks for after the offer
The most surprising answer that trumped me was β€œI am a quick learner”. I like the revised spin.
Top 7 Interview Pitfalls:
1️⃣ "I hated my last boss/company." β†’ Comes off as unprofessional.
2️⃣ "What does your company do?" β†’ Shows zero preparation.
3️⃣ "I’ll take any role!" β†’ Makes you seem desperate, not strategic.
4️⃣ "I don’t have any weaknesses." β†’ Lack of self-awareness.
5️⃣ "How much vacation time do I get?" β†’ Ask about benefits after the offer.
6️⃣ "I don’t have any questions." β†’ Big red flag! Always ask something.
7️⃣ "I’m just here for the salary." β†’ Money matters, but culture fit does too.
πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Stay positive, prepared, and professional! Frame weaknesses as growth areas ("I’m improving at X by doing Y...").πŸ‘‡
