If your job interview went smoothly and you answered all of the employer's questions, don't rush to celebrate taking on a new and promising position.

It’s better to think about what you said wrong, because because of one phrase the employer won’t call back, even if he promised.

Here are just a few examples that will cross your name off the list of candidates.

1. Don't talk about your boss's strange habits of holding long meetings that then caused you to stay late after work.

2. Don't talk about how quickly and efficiently you completed your duties, but you were not allowed to leave work before the allotted time.

3. Don't say that you were underestimated at your previous job - neither by your colleagues nor by your management. This is a sign of inflated self-esteem.

4. Do not try to inquire about the timing of a possible promotion and do not try to start your duties without a probationary period.

5. Never say that you have indicated all the information about yourself in your resume, especially if the employer asks you to tell about yourself.

In this case, the correct answer will include a description of such qualities as the ability to work with large amounts of information and resistance to stress.
