If you’re having difficulties answering a question, you can: • Ask your interviewer to repeat or clarify the question. This will give you more time to think as well as a better sense of what’s being asked. • Take your time. Rushing to say something just to say anything may only make things worse. • Admit that you don’t know the answer. If the question does fall outside of your knowledge or expertise, be honest about it. • Redirect to a subject that you’re familiar with. You can also redirect the conversation to a topic that you’re more knowledgeable about.  For example, you can say, “Unfortunately, that goes beyond my expertise. However, I’m quite knowledgeable on [a subject you’re good at that’s related to the question].” You can then elaborate on it if the interviewer gives you the go-ahead. To keep you focused during your interview, prepare using a tool like Jobscan’s Job Tracker, which has a Notes section where you can jot down common interview questions and sample answers for each.  Before the interview, refer to this section and go over what you’ve written. This will help you feel more confident and prepared.
