When talking with a potential employer, sounding like you're following a script can prevent a good conversation.

1. "I hated my last boss."

don't mistake honesty, which is admirable, for trash-talking, which is despicable.

2. "I don't know anything about the company."

interviewer will wonder why you're applying for the job

3. "No, I don't have any questions for you."

signals a lack of interest

4. "I'm going to need to take these days off."

don't bring it up prior to the salary negotiation/offer stage

5. "How long until I get a promotion?"

be certain you don't come off as entitled or ready to leave behind a job you don't even have yet.

6. "Are you an active member in your church?"

Avoid topics that are controversial

7. "As Lady Macbeth so eloquently put it..."

Scripted answers, although accurate, don't impress interviewers.

8. "And another thing I hate..."

Saveyour rants for your blog. When you're angry, you don't sway anybody'sopinion about a topic, but you do make them like you less.

For one thing, they might disagree with you. They also won't take kindly to your bad attitude.
