Let's put it this way: it is just as important to know what not to say in a job interview as it is to know what you should say. We all know that there is a false etiquette when it comes to applying for jobs where you have to, I don't know, pretend to be a functioning human being in this world. Of course, if you actually end up getting hired, you can start revealing your true self. That being said, it's important to put on that fake smile and a false sense of confidence when you walk into that room or hop on that Zoom call.
