Some phrases that might cost you job: Never use it in professional context

Hi,

Today there is something very important to share with you all. A real important topic, and I promise it will be lifelong useful to all of us. Many times while speaking we don’t notice that our word/phrases might give negative meaning, although we feel we are being positive. These phrases sometime can cost your loved job too.
Remove these phrases from everyday professional life. It will be best if you can leave your ego along with these phrases down at home when you move to your work.

Do you want this?

       1.       “That’s not my job”
This is most dangerous phrase and it is sure it will make your manager and co-workers angry. It is not always certain that you will be assigned the job that is in your original job description. Sometime the company needs you, so it is greater good for the company if you can lend your hand wherever and whenever possible.

  2.       “I’ll try”
This phrase alone is enough to prove that you have doubt within yourself. This shows you incompetency and it will also eliminate trust towards you from your co-workers. Remove “try” and say “I will”.

       3.       I dislike
Don’t be negative. Don’t show what you like and dislike. Repeating this phrase frequently and flourishing negativity rather try to create some positiveness. Love your job and if you can’t then leave it. If you can’t leave then stop showing your taste and find positiveness  in your job.

      4.        “I’m too busy”
Everyone is too busy in organization. It’s time to face the heat.  Rather than using I am too busy you can use phrases like, “Once I tackle this task I will be happy to look at that”

Some Phrases you should avoid in case of interview

      1.       “I think ……"
      This phrase shows self-doubt. Something, that you can’t risk it in interview. You  can replace this word with some confident words like “in my experience ….”

      2. “to be honest”
   You won’t be able to notice that how much adverse phrase you are using. It completely sounds positive but it has a big negative meaning attached in its backwards. Your interviewer can raise you a question “weren’t you positive before”. It only shows your negative character. It is best to avoid it.

    3.        “My previous employer was awful…”
  Don’t do this mistake. This phrase along is sufficient prove that you are disloyal and untrustworthy. Don’t show bad mouth. If you really don’t like your previous employer then   don’t turn your bad mouth.

4.       “me,me,me….”
This was the greatest mistake I made in many interviews. I had to pay very high price for using this word but thankfully it is not too late. I got guideline very timely and in future there won’t be repetition of any kind of these mistakes.Show you can work in group; you have nice skill of co-ordination. Too much “I” is always harmful in long run.

There are some phrases that are better to be removed from your resume along with the LinkedIn network.
 1.       “ highly qualified”
       Show this, don’t write. List the experience that makes you highly qualified. Writing simply highly qualified may peg you as lazy or dishonest.

      2.       “Familiar with..”
       Once again, it is necessary to show your employer how much you have used certain technical skills. Just  don’t write familiar with c++, java etc.

      3.       “Team player”
       Don’t use your tongue to prove what you are, prove with your experience. What, when and where you have  achieved by working in team.

     4.       “Problem solver”
      You are a problem solver, wow great!!! Might be one among the response you will get after HR looks your resume. Break down your resume to represent  your abilities as a problem solver rather share the problem-solving achievement that benefited your previous employer.
         
                                                          Happy reading

      It will be immense pleasure to hear something from your side. I will be glad to hear some phrases from your side that promoted or fired you from your workplace.

      Stay connected.

     Thank you
