- In today's video, I give you 35 things you should not say in a job interview. I identify big job interview mistakes to avoid based on my experience as both a recruiter and a hiring manager who has been involved in countless interviews over the years. While some of these seem more obvious than others, candidates make these mistakes every single day in job interviews and most do not know they are actually making a mistake. By learning these things you should not say in a job interview, you are positioning yourself to be successful and increasing the likelihood you land the job.

It is super easy to work those filler words out of your vocabulary that I learned in a communications class I took years ago. The solution is simple if you feel like you are about to say a filler word decide to pause your speech in that moment instead and speak once you have your thoughts in order again start talking at that point without that filler word. We use filler words because we are afraid of a moment of silence and just be ok with that silence and all is well.
I'll have to disagree with the not lying part. Like when they ask why you want that job, everyone there knows it's because of the money but if you say because of the money, you're automatically disqualified.
Oh I agree there. You need to give them a compelling, non-monetary reason.
7:28 Question: So if they ask if you have any questions at the beginning of the interview, should I say, “I have some questions, but I would like to defer them to later on”? That way, you can ensure you have time to answer their questions for you sufficiently.
I had a recent interview where I made the strategic error of asking all of my questions up front. Then, when I was going through answering their questions - one of the panel members called me out, saying that we are halfway through the interview and I had only answered 3 questions and there are 5 more to go - plus some extra non-scored questions…
At that moment, I knew the interview was over 😕
hahah the 'ums and like' , I do that when I get nervous 😩
You aren’t alone. Those are really hard to get rid of and it takes practice for sure.
@@BenTalksTalent Nope, heard plenty of recruiters/ hiring managers do it.
What a painful list but ignore it at your own peril!!!
It’s a long one for sure!
I was actually asked that question if the position was a stepping stone into the company and I said yes, few days later I had an offer, despite being "overqualified"...
Nice
Last year, I had an interview I was *really* looking forward to, and my dad (who was elderly and sick) called THREE TIMES (I had given my phone to my husband to look after). But dad needed to be transferred to the hospital, so it really was *that* urgent and he was blind and having trouble finding his doctor's number. Still so mortifying.
That is really scary. That might be the type of exception that changes that situation. I would personally understand that.
@@BenTalksTalent He died about 2 months later of that same bacterial infection. Never was able to shake it. They understood the very short (2 minute) interruption it took, thankfully, but I was missing something they were really looking for, so they went with a different candidate.
@@DeirdreSM I am sorry to hear that.
@@DeirdreSM 😢
@@Sayyidksa oh I'm so sorry!!
The no.1 is spot on😂 i had candidate ask me that upfront. I was so shocked that although he has all the qualification, it’s really a putting off
Ben, I saw you at a virtual event with the Wounded Warrior Project, and I immediately subscribed to your channel. I have a phone interview tomorrow with a job I am really excited about, and I have watched your videos repeatedly in addition to other research and preparation.
Good luck my friend!
Excellent ❤
Solid content, actually matching the title. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Excellent video as always 🤩
Thank you, Ben!
Thank you, Elizabeth! I really appreciate it!
Bro, I love the way you deliver these videos. Your personality is great! Hahaha
BTW, I finally got a job but don't be shocked if I keep looking at ur vids.
Well congrats! I am very happy for you and I appreciate the kind words. I am going to try to incorporate more career content for people who aren’t in a job search in 2023!
I watched youtube for questions and answers on interviews and the same questions were asked, i imagine they may have seen it too and i answered the same as in the youtube. Makes me anxious maybe they'll think i have no originality 💀
If an interviewer asks if I’m considering any other offers at the moment so they know when they should get back to me, can I say “I am interviewing for other positions right now so I may have other offers to consider soon, but you can take your time getting back to me and I will evaluate each offer equally when making my decision”?
I wouldn’t encourage them to take their time but I would affirm my interest in their role, Afsara!
You mentioned not asking things like, "how much longer" during the interview. Is it ok to a) ask how long to plan when scheduling the interview; and/or b) inform the interviewer that you have another commitment at a certain time (i.e. a "hard stop" time for the interview)?
"Do you have any concerns about my ability to perform in this role?" So, that should be a question towards the END of the "question session," right? In fact, how damaging would it be, if one had about 10 decent questions, but this "concerns about my abilities" was their FIRST question?
Very end. Last question you ask for sure.
Love love love your videos. Been watching many and subscribed.
In general I do interview well. Been told so by various employers and have often landed the jobs I went for.
All your tips 100% spot on.
Watching to refresh my skills and potentially new tips.
Its important to stay up to date and fresh.
What is your opinion of bringing a hand out.
I have brought a little folder with a copy of my resume (most of the time they have a cooy), a list of reference and some examples of my work.
What do you think about that?
I don't always do it, but it has always started good conversations.
Thanks for what you do. This is so helpful for so many people.
All the best.
I wouldn’t include references until asked but a big yes to the rest! And thank you for the kind words and subscribing!
@Ben Talks Talent - Interview Advice Thank you. Yes great delivery and tips. I will share this with my staff and friends. Doing great work. Thank you.
@@cflemish970 thank you!
Hey Ben,
What do you think of Rockwell? I am getting a 2nd interview and just want to know a little better from your perspective.
Nothing bad to say! I really enjoyed working there!
Why does interviewing for a job have to be mind games? It wasnt like this years ago.
Interestingly, I am not a vegetarian or vegan, but I will make sure to order something matching senior colleagues’ diet. If the other side is vegan, I will order vegan, but if the other side orders meat, I order meat too.😂😂😂
I’m a vegetarian and I’m not ordering meat, but I’m not making a big deal of it.
@@BenTalksTalent I bet you eat lots of eggs then; hard to gain muscle with only soy protein…
@@rocky_wang nope. I barely eat eggs.
Rockwell Automation? Don't you guys make turbo encabulators?
im going to school for human resorce managment
Very cool! It’s what my wife does!
wow i cant beleive some peope; say these things
They do though lol
❤️🔥
😎👍
15:55 But when you are selling yourself, doesn’t it involve lying to begin with? Let’s face it - the entire interview process is B.S. - it is a game… I’m just saying.
You do things on purpose and by accident. Saying 'on accident' is a mistake.
