Three things never to say in a job interview and three things you must say: 1.Do say “I want the job.” -Don’t say “I need the job.” 2. Do say “I have spent a lot of time researching the company and I see that…” - Don’t say “What exactly is it that this company does anyway?” 3.Do say “Who are you not reaching and why?” - This is a suggestion that comes from Peter Harris, who explained in an article titled “The best thing you can say in a job interview,” that coupled with your demonstrated knowledge of what the company does, this indicates that you have thought about the target market of the organization and have come into the interview thinking about the future. Though that particular position was a writing position, the same question could be adapted for any industry: Who isn’t shopping/dining/visiting here now, and why not? Who doesn’t use your product or service, and why? -Don’t say “No I don’t have any questions for you.” If you have done the research and are interested in the role and company, you will have questions. Not questions like “How much vacation time do I get?” but questions like the example I just gave. Saying “No” when asked “Do you have any questions for me,” makes you look lazy and uninterested. You must ask questions.
