First of all saying "I am not too good with authority figures.", probably will not get you the job.
Second if you happen to mention that "I got fired from my last job for taking office supplies.", you probably should not expect a call back.
Third telling a potential employee that "I will have to have every Friday off because that is my drinking day with my buddies.", might not make a very good impression.
Fourth you do not want to say "Sure I have been locked up. I was locked up for decking my former employer.", to a potential employer.
Fifth it is not very advisable to say "No, I hate computers. That is why I refuse to learn to use one.", at an interview.
Sixth a potential employer never wants to hear "Yeah, I am late. But it is no more than twice a week and no more than one to one half hours."
Seventh it is also not a good idea to say "Now what did you say? I wasn't listening to you. I was watching the hunk/goddess at the water fountain", at a job interview if you want the job.
Eighth saying "I refuse to come in early and stay late. Do you have a problem with that?", at an interview probably will not help you get the job.
Ninth potential employers really do not want to hear "I always need at least an hour and a half lunch. I have to go home and feed and walk my dog."
Tenth if you happen to say "It usually takes me a couple of weeks or longer to learn something new.", you probably should not expect to get the job.
Eleventh it may not be such a bright idea to tell someone at an interview "I absolutely hate to talk on the phone, so someone else will have to do that."
Twelfth when the interviewer asks you why you think you should be hired for the job please do not answer with "Because if I am not, I am going to get really angry and put sugar is your gas tank. How's that for an answer." That on might get you in a slight bit of trouble also.
So there you go folks, here are twelve things that are not advisable to say when you go to a job interview. That is unless you want to ruin your chance of getting the job.
