Using the word 'bullshit' during interview

Hi all,


During a recent interview, I was asked to give an example of a time I received critical feedback. I told the interviewers that: "In the words of my manager, he said: "Sales is 20% facts, 80% bullshit, but you are the reverse."..." and I continued elaborating on the feedback.


Although I'm quoting my manager during the interview, but I used the word 'bullshit'. Any idea how will this be viewed during the interview? Will this take away any merits from me?


Thoughts?

 

I’m in sales and getting your interviewer to feel comfortable with language like this the RIGHT way by a 2nd or final round means you have rapport. Bottom line, it depends on the interviewer. The best way to play these situations I suggest is to say something like "…and excuse my language" or some type of warning that comes off both friendly and comical before sharing the story.

Anyway though, based on the context I don't think this will hurt or help you. It's not like you said you want to fuck their son like Peter griffin on his interview.
