11 Phrases That Kill Your Job Interview

Good communication skills are essential.  Sounding even remotely uncertain of your ability to do the job youð€™re interviewing for (and do it well) is an interview killer.  There are several phrases that convey uncertainty, even if that"s not what you intended.  You might not even realize what you"re saying, because these phrases are common in everyday conversation.  However, they imply that you"re not sure of yourself.  No employer is going to hire someone who isnð€™t even sure himself if he is capable, or who promises to bring inferior communication skills to the jobð€“especially in any kind of sales. 

What phrases convey uncertainty?

I think

I hope

I would hope thatð€¦

Hopefully,

If

Try

Maybe

Sometime

With luck

If possible

Possibly

There is no try, only do or do not.  ð€“ Yoda

Confident speaking is an interview skill that I coach candidates on all the time.  It"s worth getting some help to train yourself not to use these phrases in a job interview.  They undermine your message and your credibilty, just as peppering your speech with "um," "uh," "like," or "you know" does.  These phrases often sneak into your everyday conversation, but you donð€™t want them in your job interview.
