So to prepare, you may want to learn exactly what not to say the next time you’re in front of a hiring manager.

According to a recruiter named Darci Smith, there’s one sentence to steer clear of in job interviews.

If you say the one sentence in an interview, Smith warned you will not get the job.

She started in a video: “I’m going to really build it up here because it is just the worst thing any interviewer wants to hear.

Then she revealed the sentence not to say: “‘I’m really looking to get my foot in the door.'”

In a subsequent video, Smith explained that this sentence is a big no-no in a job interview because it implies that you are not looking to stay at the prospective company.

“It’s basically saying you have no experience, you’re just using this job to get experience, and then you’re going to bounce,” she added.

Instead of telling a hiring manager you’re looking to get your foot in the door, Smith suggested saying instead: “I’m applying to this job because I’m really looking to be in this industry and I love that your company does X, Y, and Z.”
