Key things not to say:

1. "I don't know" or "I don't have any weaknesses" or "or i'm known to be a perfectionist" - During a job interview, For instance when asked to name one of your weaknesses or flows, it is no-no to say you have none or that you are a perfectionist.

Mention a negative, but follow-up with what you have been doing to address the weakness and mention a recent success due to this new way of dealing with the weakness. Such Weakness can also be viewed as a positive because you are self-aware and you have taken the step to manage the weakness.

2. "My boss was a flaming jerk!" or "My colleagues were difficult to get along with!" - During a job interview, never ever criticize a former boss or employer. No matter how poorly you were treated, it is foolish to point the finger at someone from your previous job, it is simply unnecessary.

3. "Exactly how much is this job paying, anyway?", or "When am i going to be promoted!" - Never mention salary or promotion in an interview unless you are asked about them first. Avoid asking for when you are going to be promoted, remember that the job is not yet, do not put the cart before the horse.
