NEVER BRING THESE TOPICS
UP IN A JOB INTERVIEW!
3

• Many writers and experts have touched on the
  topic of what to do during a job interview to
  increase ones chances of getting a job offer.

4

• The articles talk about the right things to wear
  and the best documentation for one to bring with
  him or her.

5

• However, few people discuss what not to do or
  what not to say.

6

• Some things are better left unsaid and some
  topics are downright taboo when talking with a
  potential employer.

7

• The following are some of the most common topics
  a person should never bring up during a job
  interview

8

• Why the Applicant Hated the Last Job

9

• One of the biggest mistakes made by interviewees
  is discussing their former employers in an
  unfavorable light.

10

• Some applicants may think they are gaining the
  prospective employers favor by downplaying the
  last employer, but usually its the opposite that
  occurs.

11

• Prospective employers are often put off by a
  candidate's frank disregard for the former
  employers privacy and is concerned that the
  applicant will do the same to that company one
  day.

12

• Religious Topics

13

• Religious topics and politics have always been
  kept separate from the workplace as much as
  possible.

14

• And that need for separation increases with each
  passing year. It is politically incorrect to talk
  about politics and religion on the job.

15

• Therefore, an applicant may want to steer clear
  of such talk during their interview.

16

• Some applicants may feel that honesty is the best
  policy when it comes to letting the employer know
  that they observe religious holidays.

17

• Some employers will respect it and hire those
  people anyway. Other employers will see the
  information as a red flag.

18

• Disability Information

19

• Ones disability is not something to bring up in
  a job interview unless the prospective employer
  asks about it, which is not likely to occur.

20

• The reason disability information is not a good
  topic to introduce is that it could allow for
  potential discrimination.

21

• The disabled employee leaves himself or herself
  open for the employer to hire someone else
  because of the fear of medical leaves and
  accommodations.

22

• Plans That Are Not Long-Term

23

• Prospective employers want to hire people who
  will stay with a company for the long haul.
  Anything that goes against that expectation is
  unwise.

24

• An applicant should not mention plans of moving
  or finding a higher paying job elsewhere.

25

• While that seems like common sense, many
  applicants are guilty of providing way too much
  information during interviews.

26

• Personal Information

27

• Finally, giving personal information to a
  potential employer is like way too much
  information part two.

28

• A prospective employer does not want to hear
  about ones marital problems, non-work
  activities, family issues and the like.

29

• What to Bring up During an Interview

30

• The things that a prospective employer wants to
  hear

• Job skills

• Positive personality traits

• Accomplishments

• Talents

31

• Prospective employers want to hear how the
  applicants myriad of skills can help lower the
  cost of new hire training.

32

• They also want to hear how hiring the applicant
  can help the company to prosper.

• Anything short of that is self-defeating and does
  not put the applicant in the best of lights.

33

• Sometimes the best solution is to contact a
  recruiter and let them steer you to the perfect
  job.
