25 Things Never to Say During a Job Interview (and Why)

There are some things that you should keep to yourself during a job interview – even if you’re thinking them.

 
Be conservative in what you say and share, and keep the focus on your skills and qualifications for a job.

The interviewer isn’t interested in your personal life, your vacation plans, or why you really need to get hired for the job. He or she wants to know why you’re the best-qualified person for the job. If you don’t think you have all the qualifications, don’t mention it.

If you’re not sure how you’re going to get to work, arrange child care, want to take vacation time already or the schedule isn’t perfect, don’t mention it.

The same is true for how you really feel about your current (or last) employer.

Negativity doesn’t go over well during job interviews. Companies want to hire positive people, not complainers.

Top 25 Things Never to Say at a Job Interview
Here are 25 things you shouldn’t say during an interview, and why not to say them.

1. I really hate my job. (Are you going to hate this job if they hire you?)
2. I have a vacation planned in a few weeks. (Wait to ask for time-off until you have a job offer.)
3. My boss is the worst boss ever. (Are you going to say that about your new boss if things don’t work out?)
4. My current company is awful. (Are you going to say that about the new company?)
5. How much does this job pay? (Let the employer bring up money first.)
6. When do I get a vacation? (Don’t ask about benefits until you’re offered the job)
7. Can you give me taxi fare to get home? (Figure out your transportation ahead of time)
8. Do you mind if I take this call? (Your phone should be turned off before you head into the interview.)
9. I really need this job. (You don’t want to come across as desperate.)
10. I don’t have all the experience you need, but I’m a quick learner. (Let the interviewer figure out if you’re qualified and focus on the skills that you do have.)
11. I don’t know.
12. It’s on my resume. (Yes, it is, but the interviewer wants to hear it from you.)
13. I have an appointment, is this going to be over soon? (Give yourself plenty of time to interview and be aware the interview could run longer than you planned.)
14. Sorry, I’m late. (Don't be unless you have an emergency.)
15. Profanity or swear words. (Keep it professional and polite.)
16. What’s the policy on dating co-workers? (this is about work, not your love life)
17. Do you have Friday Happy Hours or is there an open bar at holiday parties? (Booze and job interviews don’t mix.)
18. I don’t have child care lined up, but I’m working on it. (You don’t want to give the interviewer any reason to think that you won’t have the availability that’s needed by the company.)
19. I don’t have a car yet, but I will soon. (same as above)
20. This schedule doesn’t really work for me. Can it be changed? (Don’t ask for anything until you have a job offer.)
21. I don’t have any questions. (You should always have a list of question ready to ask the interviewer.)
22. What do you do at this company? (you should thoroughly research the company and be prepared to speak about it)
23. What is included in the benefits package? (Wait for a job offer before discussing benefits.)
24. Interviews make me really nervous. (The interviewer wants to hire someone confident in his or her abilities.)
25. Can I work from home? (Don’t bring up alternative working situations until you have a job offer.)

Caitlyn Jenner to Face Vehicular Manslaughter Charges Stemming From Fatal Car Crash?

For the past few weeks the big news surrounding Caitlyn Jenner has mostly had to do with her big debut on the cover of Vanity Fair.

But there's been a black cloud hanging over Caitlyn's coming out party, and the Olympian-turned-reality-star-turned-transgender-activist could soon find herself in some serious legal trouble.
 
Back in February (when she was still living as Bruce), Jenner was involved in a car crash that claimed one life and injured seven.

Jenner is being sued by the stepchildren of the woman who died, and the civil case might well end up costing him millions.

Worse, however, is the possibility of criminal charges.

Even misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter could carry a penalty of up to a year in prison, and Radar Online is reporting that the DA's office is scheduled to conclude its investigation and announce whether it will press charges against Caitlyn sometime this week.

Legal experts believe Jenner could get off with a slap on the wrist, but those most familiar with the case say they're troubled with the way she seems to be ignoring the investigation and hoping it will simply go away.

“Caitlyn hasn’t sat down with cops to be formally questioned,” one source says. “Even though drugs and alcohol weren’t involved, Caitlyn is still responsible for the death, and it will be a misdemeanor charge.

“The fact that Major Crimes is going to be involved could be very troubling, as it’s the most elite branch of the DA’s office. These are very seasoned prosecutors that are extremely experienced in handling high profile cases.”

The insider notes that it's "unlikely" that Caitlyn will be forced to serve jail time, but adds that some prosecutors like to "make an example" out of celebrity defendants.

See Photo: Tyga and Kylie Jenner Wear Matching Outfits

Kylie Jenner and Tyga donned matching outfits and his and her shoes while catching a flight to Europe on June 22.

 

Despite rumors that Tyga and Kylie are set to elope in August, the 25-year-old rapper and his underage girlfriend have not officially confirmed their relationship.  But their matching attire is enough confirmation for us.

Unless Tyga just wanted to play twinsies...

The couple wore casual, all black outfits. And the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and Tyga wore matching sneakers.

Kylie even shared a close up picture of their #twinning shoes that were going through the x-ray security machine.  She captioned the photo “necessities.”

Yeah, good thing planes have barf bags because they were probably also a necessity when the rest of the flight saw how sickeningly lame and illegal their relationship is.

If their matching outfits didn't confirm their relationship, then Tyga's song about Kylie does. Uh, statutory rape??? 

However, A friend claims that Tyga's song "Pleazer was not about Kylie Kardashian.

Since you asked, here's my two cents: anyone lame enough to date a minor and dress like her is lame enough to rap about her.

I paid $25k as Pokello's bride price-Elikem reveals

It's no news that BBA stars,Pokello Nare and Elikem Kumordzi  got married on the 20th of June,2015.

Elikem is from Ghana and Pokello from Zimbabwe ..He told Peaceonlinefm he paid 425,000(5$m) as bride price

“I paid a lot of money and before you pay such money for a lady’s hand in marriage you have to be sure she’s the one. Otherwise you will be a silly young man throwing a lot of money away. So it feels good to be married to the right woman. It feels amazing. No mistakes or regrets whatsoever”,

When quizzed on how much he paid as bride price for Pokello, a reluctant Elikem said because people are mentioning wrong figures all over so he wants to use the opportunity to correct that.

Chinese Woman Buys 100 Dogs To Save Them From Being Eaten (PHOTOS)

About 100 dogs in southern Chinese city of Yulin owe their lives to a woman, Yang Xiaoyun, a retired school teacher and an animal advocate. Xiaoyun paid about $1,100 to save from the annual dog meat festival on Saturday, June 20, 2015.

 
This picture taken on June 20, 2015 shows animal-loving Yang Xiaoyun (C) going around buying some 100 dogs at a market in Yulin, in southern China’s Guangxi province. Yang has paid more than 1,000 USD to prevent around 100 canines from being eaten ahead of a dog meat festival which has provoked outrage worldwide

65-year-old Xiaoyun, according to AFP reports, travelled 1,500 miles to Yulin from her home in Tianjin to secure the dogs. She has reportedly been rescuing stray animals since 1995 when she pulled an almost drowning and abandoned kitten from a river. She launched her dog and cat sanctuary called the “Common Home for All” in 1999.

 

Xiaoyun has also sold her home so she can take in more animals which she houses in a rented space. She refers to the animals as her children and prepares their meals. Her shelter houses almost 1,500 dogs and 200 cats.

 

The Yulin dog meat festival dates back to 2009 although there is a historical precedent for the festival in China. Xianoyun’s selfless act has been commended by international observers and activists. The festival, which coincides with the summer solstice, each year claims the lives of about 10,000 dogs.

She is reported to be gearing to open another sanctuary in Yulin.

Diddy Denies Assault Charges: Read His Statement

Diddy says he didn't do it.
The music mogul was arrested on Monday afternoon and charged with assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly confronted a UCLA football coach who had berated Diddy's son on the field.

Sources claim Diddy struck UCLA football’s strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi with a kettlebell because Alosi was yelling at Justin Combs, a junior defensive back on the squad.
 
But a rep for the artist has released a statement that disputes this story.

“The various accounts of the event and charges that are being reported are wholly inaccurate," reads the statement.

It continues:
“What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son. Once the true facts are revealed, the case will be dismissed."

There's actually been talk that Diddy will face charges of making terrorist threats against the coach, but that chatter may be premature at the moment.
