Don’t badmouth people. People who badmouth someone else will badmouth you. Imagine the kind of person you’d want to work with (capable, calm, reliable) project the persona of the person you want to work with.

It’s ok not to lie. But you can also not say something about someone that you wouldn’t assay to them.

I interviewed someone once who was technically awesome and not a single person in the interview panel wanted to work with him.
