Job interviews are one of the most important steps in the job search process. And while we often prepare for what to say, knowing what not to say can be just as critical. In this video, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing 8 things you should never reveal under any circumstance in your next job interview. These subtle, often overlooked pitfalls can make or break an interview. Don't get tricked! Here's a little sneak peek of what you'll learn:
✅ The danger of mixing personal drama with professional settings.
✅ Why bad-mouthing your former boss or company can backfire on you.
✅ The optimal time to discuss salary or benefits - because timing is, indeed, everything.
✅ How to artfully address the dreaded "What's your greatest weakness?" question.
I’m also sharing a game-changing body language tip to boost your impression in a job interview and a newly updated 'Interview Guide Cheat Sheet'.

Great list Heather!
#7 and other questions like it can often be mitigated with a bit of humor.
I answer "What is your greatest weakness?" with one word. "Chocolate." Pause for a moment. Smile. (They are also smiling at this point, usually) then proceed with my actual answer. That small pause gives your brain all the time it needs to adapt your prepared answer to that specific person or persons in that specific interview.
As an Executive Recruiter, unfortunately I see huge mistakes from candidates. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
How can I best answer this job interview question: "Tell me a time you made a mistake? How did you communicate that mistake?" How can I answer this question without worrying about prior mistakes I made in the workplace? This is a challenging question to answer.
Everyone makes mistakes. I'd think of something impactful, that helped you grow. What they really want to know is how you solved it, and what you learned from it. "I [state your mistake in one sentence]. I emailed my manager, then when to talk with them about it. To resolve it quickly, I [ state what you did to resolve in one sentence ]. This really helped me to understand the importance of [ what you learned from the experience in one sentence ]." Be brief and insightful.
Nice!
Thanks! What was your biggest aha moment from the video?
Top notch ! Super insightful 🎯
Heather what would be the best way to tackle my situation - i am a Hvac design engineer in Aec construction industry after completing my internship in 2019 i was out of work due to family reasons helping mom at home. So how to get a job now after a big career gap of 4 yrs ? Does being too honest work or any others ways of directly cold call or cold email work instead of posting resumes on various job sites.. how should i develop self belief & conquer the challenges in these testing times.. Your book recommendations are awesome could you recommend here some about this situation...
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏 Your situation is challenging, but not insurmountable. Being transparent about your career gap, especially if it was for family reasons, can work in your favor; many employers appreciate honesty. However, you'll also want to emphasize the skills and knowledge you retained or developed during this period. Cold calls or emails can be effective if targeted properly; research companies you're interested in and tailor your approach to them. It's all about framing your story in a way that highlights your dedication, adaptability, and resilience. For boosting self-belief, I'd recommend "Mindset" by Carol Dweck and "Grit" by Angela Duckworth. Both dive deep into the power of perseverance and the belief in oneself. Best of luck, and stay persistent! 💪📚
