Eight phrases you should avoid using in your next job interview and what you should say instead.
Filler Phrases
"I'm highly motivated."
Your interviewers are probably thinking: "So what?" This is typically a filler phrase for those without a slew of strong examples to showcase various types of motivation in the workplace. Simply stating that you're motivated is the exact opposite way to showcase your motivation.
Prepare your elevator pitch to showcase ways that you're a highly motivated employee without using those exact words. Say this instead: "My previous company didn't have an internal newsletter, so I set up a plan and created a monthly newsletter to keep my coworkers better informed."
