but, stay away from these:
Salary: Never ask what the position pays. Until a hiring manager determines your fit and expertise they may be flexible with salary, don't give away your asking price or ask how much the job pays.
Vacation time/Benefits/sick days: Don't expect an offer if you are already suggesting you need time off.
Time in lieu/overtime: If you are on salary, expect you will be working 40 - 44 hours without extra compensation; the higher the salary, the more overtime is expected and not compensated for.
Health issues: You are under no obligation to disclose past illnesses or disabilities that do not pertain to the job responsibilities as outlined in the job description.
Past conflicts: Don't speak negatively of past positions or bosses. Keep the reason you left explanation as general as possible.
A higher up position: Don't interview for any other position than the one you applied for. If you have ambitions of moving up, great, but stay focused on what you can contribute NOW.
Personal stuff: The interviewer is NOT your friend; do not share any personal information no matter how well you think you are “bonding.” The answer to “tell me about yourself” is not how many children you have or your favorite holiday.
