What should I absolutely avoid in the interview? (What NOT to do)

Negativity about a previous employer or job: “My old boss was a jerk.” The interviewer will perceive you as being a negative person. (They don't know your old boss.)
Saying "I don't know."
Discussions about benefits, vacation, and pay: “When can I take vacation?” Companies want people who are motivated to work hard and get results, not people who are trying to get a paycheck to go on vacation.
Answering a question with, "It's on my resume."
Unprofessional language.
"I don't have any questions."
Asking what the company does...
Overly prepared answers or cliches: “I work hard, am a big picture thinker, a big team player, care a lot, and have great attention to detail.” Even though these are all great attributes and employers often want you to have these qualities, you want to avoid describing them in a generic way. Give real, personal answers.
Lying, or half-truths: “Yeah, I sort of fudged it on that one. My resume isn’t entirely accurate.” Lying doesn’t come across well in a job interview. If anything in your resume is not honest or makes big claims that you don’t feel comfortable defending, remove it. Don’t make up answers that aren’t true. If you get the job, your boss will remember your untruths.
Discussions about your lack of experience.
Sharing too much personal information that's not relevant to the job or your qualifications.
