Avoid Absolutes - Use P.U.N.G.
During an interview, avoid using absolutes that box you into a corner. When you use absolutes such as "always" and "never" you leave yourself open to the exception that could discredit you and your organization. Rather than say, "We always take the following steps ... " or "We would never proceed without ..." use P.U.N.G., which stands for Probably, Usually, Normally and Generally:
It probably happened because ...
We usually take five steps before proceeding ...
We normally wait three months before ...
Generally our policy is to ...
By using P.U.N.G., if an exception is identified, you will not have to defend your information as you would if you used an absolute. Also, your credibility is not damaged and you will feel much more in control during the interview
