1. Anything related to salary or benefits
1.关于薪水和福利的任何事，都不要问
“Company benefits [and salary negotiations] don’t come into play until an offer has been extended,” says Kohut. The same principle applies to sick time and vacation days. It’s best to avoid any question that sounds like you assume you already have the position–unless, of course, your interviewer brings it up first.
“除非已正式雇佣，否则公司的薪水、福利以及关于薪水的谈判永远都不会展现给应聘者，”Kohut说道。同样，病假、假期等相关的问题也不能问。除非对方已经暗示你将得到这份工作，否则，不要提出任何以上提到的问题，这会让人觉得你已有胜券在握的感觉。
2. Questions that start with “why?”
2.不要提出任何以“为什么”开头的问题
Why? It’s a matter of psychology. These kinds of questions put people on the defensive, says Kohut. She advises repositioning a question such as, “Why did the company lay off people last year?” to a less confrontational, “I read about the layoffs you had. What’s your opinion on how the company is positioned for the future?”
为什么呢？因为这是个心理学问题。以“为什么”开头的问题会让人变得具有防御意识，Kohut解释道。她建议可以换个方式问问题，比如，把“为什么贵公司去年要裁员？”的问题巧妙转变成：“我听说去年贵公司裁员了一部分人，请问，您对于公司未来的定位有什么看法？”
3. “Who is your competition?”
3.“我的竞争者都有些谁？”
This is a great example of a question that could either make you sound thoughtful … or totally backfire and reveal that you did zero research about the company prior to the interview, says Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter of CareerTrend.net. Before asking any question, determine whether it’s something you could have figured out yourself through a Google search. If it is, a) don’t ask it and b) do that Google search before your interview!
