The hiring manager has already sifted through resumes and decided that they want to meet you. Now it’s your turn to make an impression.

Avoid these 11 statements next time you’re up for a job.

1. “THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION!”
“ÕâÊǸöºÜºÃµÄÎÊÌ⣡”
While this phrase may be a great addition to social conversations, it’s not something an interviewer needs to hear.

Instead of sounding surprised that the recruiter asked a question, remember that you’ve prepared for this interview.

2. “WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE ROLE, AGAIN?”
“Õâ¸öְλ½ÐʲôÀ´×Å£¿”
Any questions showing your lack of research into the company, the job description, or the industry itself show that you haven’t adequately prepared.

There’s no doubt it’s important to ask your interviewer questions, but the questions you ask should be targeted toward information you can’t find online: what the company culture is like, how the values of the company play out in day-to-day business, etc.

3. “I’VE ACTUALLY NEVER DONE THIS TYPE OF JOB BEFORE, BUT . . . “
“ʵ¼ÊÉÏÎÒ´ÓÀ´Ã»ÓÐ×ö¹ýÕâÀ๤×÷£¬²»¹ý……”
If you have a lack of experience, your resume will show it.

In fact, the interview is your chance to creatively connect the dots between your resume and your decision to apply for the job.

It’s where you’re able to tell the interviewer why you’ll be a perfect fit for the job, even if that’s not what it looks like on paper.

4. “I REALLY CAN’T IMAGINE ANYONE MORE QUALIFIED THAN ME”
“ÎÒÕæµÄÏë²»³öÓÐ˱ÈÎÒ¸üºÏÊÊÁË”
Self-aggrandizing during an interview only serves to hurt you in the end.

Since you haven’t seen the resumes of the other applicants, there’s no use in overtly comparing yourself to them.

What’s important to learn is the art of the subtle comparison.

The key is being able to talk about the things that make you special–not just saying that you’re special.

5. “MY LAST BOSS WAS TERRIBLE”
“ÎÒÉÏÒ»¸öÀϰ峬²î¾¢”
Complaining about how you didn’t get along in your last work environment is detrimental on two levels.

“Õâ¶ÔÓÚÎÒÊÂÒµµÄÏÂÒ»²½À´Ëµ£¬ÊÇÒ»¸öºÜºÃµÄÌø°å”
While this may be the exact reason you want this job, it’s not a savvy move to share with the interviewer.

7. “I DON’T KNOW”
“ÎÒ²»ÖªµÀ”
There’s always a better way to respond to a question you’re unsure of than saying, “I don’t know.”

8. “I DON’T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU”
“ÎÒûÓÐÎÊÌâÒªÎÊÄã”
Having questions prepared for your interviewer is almost as important as being able to answer the questions they throw at you.

9. “THAT’S A REALLY NICE WATCH YOU HAVE ON!”
“Äã´÷µÄÊÖ±íÕæ²»´í£¡”
Attempts to flatter your interviewer will most likely fall short–especially in relation to appearance or material possessions.

As in any situation where you want to sound confident, intelligent, and collected: Cut the filler words.
