"I'm Dedicated”

You might as well add loyal and call yourself a golden retriever.

"I'm Detail-Oriented"

As opposed to what? Detail-avoidant? A total scatterbrain?

I'm Driven”

As in "I'm so driven I can't pull the blinders off long enough to see what's going on in the

organization.

I'm Dynamic

Beyond being boastful, without context the word "dynamic" is an empty platitude.

I'm Intense

No one can stand to spend time with you because 'intense' translates to a lack of understanding about personal space.

"I'm A People Person”

This will get you nothing. The interviewer will know if you are comfortable with people by the way you conduct yourself in the interview. You

don’t have to tell them.

"I'm A Perfect Fit For The Team”

Oh, really? Have you met them? Your attempt to please the manager or sell yourself to a position you’re unsure of can backfire. See also: The Ideal Candidate, Look No Further, Perfect Fit For this

"That's A Great Question!"

Just plain condescending. Does this mean that the other questions the interviewer asks are

bad?
