Years ago, I was one of four people who conducted job interviews at my previous company. One candidate, who had worked at an ice cream place, told our panel of four, "At my previous job, they were so uptight about people memorizing the menu. I was like, 'It's just ice cream!'"
I gritted my teeth when I heard that. Common sense should tell anyone that you never say anything at a job interview that screams, "Who cares about the details of this profession?" Saying "I was like..." doesn't help you, either.
Not surprisingly, our company didn't hire her.
