Remain Calm
The best course of action when you don't know how to answer
an interviewer's question is to remain at ease. Distract yourself with another
pre-planned thought or count to five, and then give the question your best
shot.
Be Honest
When you don't know how to answer an interviewer's question,
it may just be best to be honest that you don't know the answer. It's best not
to mislead your potential boss but rather, be straightforward.
Impromptu Ideas
An impromptu answer is one solution to an unknown job
interview question. Before you give a response, briefly pause and then repeat
what you were asked to give yourself a little time to ponder the question.
After that, focus on one main point of the of the inquiry and support your
answer with several facts or opinions. Even if you only partially answer the
interviewer's original question, you gave it a solid effort.
Know the Basics
Prepare yourself before the interview with some basic
questions about your industry. If you don't technically know an answer, fill in
with a response to a similar question.
For example, if you're applying for a
sales job, you may be asked how you have handled a threatening
customer in the past. If you have never dealt with the given scenario, you
could say, "I have never faced that situation, however, I have addressed
client complaints and we were able to talk through and resolve the issues at
hand."
Follow that up with explaining how you deal with difficult
real life work situations in more detail.
