Things Not to Say in an IT Interview

We are interviewing candidates for a Help Desk position here, and if the rest of the candidates are anything like the first this is going to be a very entertaining process. In fact, I may have to open another tread about things not to do in an IT interview...

Things Not to Say in an IT Interview:

'I don't really like TCP/IP'

'I still live with my mother'

I would say just be honest in an interview. If you are asked a question and you are not sure, just say that instead of fumbling around for an answer, they will pick up on that.

Also make sure to smile, be upbeat, show you are interested in learning new things etc..

Don't say things like - I never will stay late, won't learn anything new etc.. :P

During an interview for a Customer Support position, I was asked "What do you feel is your weakness?”
I answered, “I don't have patience with people who violate Acceptable Use Policies.
I hate when people purposefully disregard policies. Such as looking at **** sites on government owned computers.”
Well, the interviewer only heard that I don't have patience with customers. I tried to clarify, but it was too late. Needless to say, I never got a call back. I had given that question a lot of thought prior to the interview.
