I'm in some dire need for some help here. I'm looking for some cunning linguists to help me brainstorm ways in which I can express myself in a clear fashion during interviews and such. I'm just looking for some basic ideas such as what to avoid, any cliche shit that I should look out for, and how to phrase certain things so that it doesn't impact me negatively.

Any basic pointers and tips would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to get as many opinions as possible.

Couldn't resist clicking that blog in the sidebar in the middle of class although it made me sweat, anticipating NSFW content.

Always smile~

I think what a lot of people dislike is repetition...it's like reading a book that uses one lame phrase 3 times within 8 sentences and you start becoming irritated by it. Try to be conscious of and avoid repetition in your speech unless you're doing it purposefully in a list.

As for speech clarity, pausing for about .5-3 seconds to gather your thoughts and then say something with an impact is MUCH MUCH better than putting your mouth on automatic and your brain on neutral.

And it's ok to say cliche shits if the alternative is just something weird/unbelievable/stupid - just say it in a different manner and be honest about it (AKA give it 'your' twist)...then it'll be fine.

Not quite sure yet honestly. I've got like 4-5 interviews lined up in all different fields and industries for the next week, so I'm kind of just trying to get a generic sense of what to do/what not to do/etc. General pointers that can work for any type of interview, which I can then use to divulge into field-based specifics.

Another question I have is what do I do if the interviewer asks me to describe a situation I've never encountered. Do I just tell them I've never been in that situation or should I attempt to make up something on the fly?

You say you've never been in that situation but then describe a different situation in which you solved a problem you hadn't encountered before.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

Separating the words might've helped remove some of the confusion.

You could open your response with "Had I been in this situation, I would have...." Or "Had this situation ever happened to me, I would have", or "Although I have never experienced such a situation, hypothetically I would..." ETC.
