In a recent study in UK, in which 105 students between the ages of 18 to 43 years and 71 professionals between the ages of 22 to 76 years (120 women, 56 men) participated came to a conclusion that if the candidate overused the word “like” compared to “uh” or control, you are less likely to be hired.
This study examined the use of hesitations and discourse markers such as “uh” and “like,” sex of an interviewee, and professional or student participants on hiring decisions of job interviewees.
So if you having trouble getting a job? Maybe it’s how you use "like" when you talk.
