NEVER USE THESE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF

Some words sounds great when it is used to describe someone but weird when we use it to describe ourselves. Such words should be avoided during interviews because it has the tendency of ruining your chance of being hired. Such words include;

Humble

Trying to explain how humble you are will only lead to frustration. Its such a contradictory word and wears down people's trust. It is even believed that saying you are humble means you are not.

Generous

Being described as generous is something you earn and not claim. You may be generous but saying it publicly indicate lack of humility.

Self-discipline

Being disciplined is an ongoing task  everyone have to finish everyday. To show how disciplined you are, you have to work hard to gain that respect.Don't just say it.

Passionate

You are advised to show your passion through your deeds and works and not by mere words.someone can claim to be passionate through their motivational words but their actions speaks otherwise.

Talented

Hard work is the driving force of talent. Talents need qualities like dedication, hard work and concentration. Display your talent through hard work and not with mere words.

Fearless

Everybody have some degree of fear at some point. It can be a fear of anything. Always replace the word fearless with brave. Using the word fearless might send the wrong signal like being over confident.

Straight forward

Being straight forward is allowed but not calling yourself that. The word straight forward indicate a lot of things like being rude,disrespectful or impolite. Saying you are straight forwarded during an interview might indicate you are one of those.

Adaptable

Adjustments should be the right word here because it is more flexible. It is better to say that you can adjust to new situations or environment than using the word adaptable during an interview.
