Though usefull in everyday life you may not want to use slangs during interviews.
and in Canada (more Brit than American).

its the Americans who say zed. What do they know anyway. They cannot even spell colour correctly .

While you do need to know the native slangs/expressions to better integrate into society...it's not absolutely necessary to be aware of all of them, in my humble opinion. Like I mentioned, best avoided during interviews...unless you are into some offbeat field.

Bottom line...good english is always appreciated. Note that most people in responsible positions do not use slangs in formal settings (tv interviews, speeches, newscasts etc). Unless you are from the military or POTUS Mr.Bush (who is also the commander-in-chief...so in a sense he is in the military). However, when it comes to the current POTUS its a different story altogether .
