Things you want to say: Everyone tells you to just be yourself, but that’s really bad advice if you’re going into a job interview. This is one instance where you absolutely don’t want to be yourself, and you don’t want to relax and get comfortable, either. Stay rigid and you’ll stay professional. And if you can stay on track during the interview and prevent yourself from saying these 10 things, you’ll have a much better chance of actually getting the job.

Of course you’ve got questions about the job, and of course you want to show a little personality to the interviewer. But that doesn’t mean you should actually ask the stuff you really do want to know, or say the things that are going through your mind during the question and answer process. It’s best if you stay on script, and avoid all those random comments that are just dying to come shooting out of your mouth.
There are more clever ways to find out the information you need to have, and there are lots of great reasons why you can’t say the things you really want to say. So the next time you have an interview, forget about being yourself. Don’t even try to relax. Just remember not to say these 10 things, because if you do you’ll end up blowing your chances at getting the job you want.
10. How many sick days do you offer?
Obviously it’s an important question and you do need an answer, but you can’t ask about sick days in the interview. It implies that you’re planning on using those days, and using them as soon as possible. Even if that’s true, it clearly doesn’t send the best message to someone who’s thinking about hiring you for job. Besides, there are other ways to find out the answer — without making yourself look bad.
Instead of specifically asking about sick days, ask the interview about the complete benefits package available. The provided overview should include information about your vacation days and sick days, if any.
