In the last episode of the recent series of The Apprentice, the remaining contestants attended 4 interviews.  One of those used cliché after cliché and it was nothing but cringeworthy.

'I'm not a show pony, or a one-tricky pony.  I'm not a jack-ass or a stubborn mule, and I'm definitely not a wild stallion that needs to be tamed.  I am the champion thoroughbred that this process requires."

Asked to describe himself without using a cliché and he said, "I am what it says on the tin"....which is what exactly?

I think certain words and phrases on a CV or at interview are appropriate, but common clichés are to be avoided.
