You probably already know there are a lot of things you should never say in a job interview. Things like “By the way, what does this company even do?” …
Or “I stay up late and have trouble getting out of bed. So, is it okay if I’m a few minutes late every day?” …
Or “What’s your policy on inter-office dating?”
Clearly, these three questions/phrases would probably end the interview for you, almost immediately.
However, while there are some obvious things that should never be said, there are at least five “magic” words, or phrases, really, that you SHOULD be saying in a job interview.
Why? Because if you use them, you could greatly increase your chances of being chosen for the job... because they can make you stand out and look “creative” to the hiring manager.
Today, GetAJobFast.net will show you these five “magic” phrases to use in a job interview, and we’ll also show you ten phrases to avoid using (even though at first glance they look like winners).

Now, back to the topic at hand… the five magic phrases to use in a job interview.
But let’s not start off with them. Instead, we’ll start with the ten phrases that you shouldn’t use, even though you might think you should.
Ready for them?
According to a job recruitment expert, they are…[1]
1 - “I’m so motivated”
2- “I give 110%”
3- “I perform best under pressure”
4- “I’m a good communicator”
5- “I’m a team player”
6- “My weak point is I’m a perfectionist”
7- “My best quality is being proactive”
8- “One of my main qualities is creativity”
9- “I’m a self-starter”
10- “My weakness is working too hard”
Like we said earlier, these phrases look like good ones to use. But, in fact, they’re not. You see, when using phrases like these, hiring managers may see you as unoriginal. As using cliché to impress them…
As having “studied” what to say, rather than coming across genuine.
So, with that said, what are the five “magical” phrases you SHOULD try to work into your job interview?
Here we go!
1- “One of my key qualities is self-awareness.”
2- “I’m a constructive communicator”
3- “I’d like to learn more from your company values” (from, not about)
4- “These are the impacts I’ve made in my previous role” (then list them)
5- “My natural curiosity helps me progress.”
Now, these five magical phrases may seem similar to some of the ten phrases you shouldn’t use, but they’re actually much different.
How are they different? Well, they’re not boilerplate.
You see, by using these five phrases, you’re showing the hiring manager that you’re creative, and you’re not simply repeating cliché phrases you’ve been told to use and rehearsed.
Although…
You should consider rehearsing these five creative phrases. And do so in a manner that comes across completely naturally. They can make a big difference to the outcome of your interview.
