“WHAT TO SAY when you cannot ANSWER an INTERVIEW QUESTION!” by Richard McMunn of: https://passmyinterview.com/21-great-answers-to-tough-interview-questions/ #interviewtips #interviewquestions #interviewquestionsandanswers In any job interview, it is possible you will encounter tough interview questions where you do not know what to say when you cannot answer an interview question. - What do you do when you can't answer an interview question? - What to say when you don't have an answer? - How to answer an interview question when you don't have the experience? Here are 3 great options to have ready of what to say when you cannot answer an interview question: OPTION #1 Tell the interviewer you do not know the answer to the interview question, but that you will get back to them with an answer when you get back from the interview! * FOLLOW UP EMAIL WHEN YOU CANNOT ANSWER AN INTERVIEW QUESTION * Dear sir, RE: Answer to today’s interview question and thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed today for the position of xxx. During the interview, I promised to come back to you with the answer to the interview question, xxx. My answer is as follows: (INSERT THE ANSWER HERE) I thoroughly enjoyed the interview process and I very much look forward to working for your organization if I am successful. If you need any further information from me, please do not hesitate to ask. Yours faithfully, INSERT YOUR NAME HERE INSERT YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HERE OPTION #2 Give yourself some time and ask the interviewer if it is OK to come back to the interview question later in the interview. OPTION #3 If they ask you a behavioral interview question, but you have never been in that situation before, tell them about a time when you observed the situation being played out by someone else. For example, if the interviewer asks you the question: “Tell me about a time you delivered excellent customer service.” Instead of saying… “I’ve never been in that situation before, so I cannot give you an answer, sorry.” Tell them about a time you were on the receiving end of good customer service!

@nancyayabei5249منذ 3 سنوات To be honest, I don't where to start thanking you Richard. It's almost an year I attended an interview after following your interview videos I id="hidden5" class="buttons"> could go back once again. After passing my first interview, your YouTube videos still guided me further on all interview questions. Big up brother, a friend, mentour.
I passed again on my second interview in June 2020, Thereafter I was called for salary negotiation, it was tough time for I had various YouTube videos but I put all my faith in you. In August 2020 I was offered an acceptance letter which I was given time to still negotiate the salary.
Finally I landed to my dream job. I'm lost of words to say many thanks Richard.
Be blessed and may God bless you abundantly. My advice to job seekers is first know what you want in a job, is it growth or money. But I would advise you if you're still young and in your early years of job look for competence, experience look for skills. So as In the next interviews you will not taken for task why you want this salary you will be the one selling yourself out. ....وسعت 242

@achieving.excellenceمنذ 3 سنوات Your point #3 is brilliant. You do not have to do something firsthand to be able to give an answer. The experience of the situation from the receiving end is a clever strategy to use to provide an appropriate answer. 28

@joshuamartinpryce8424منذ 3 سنوات Its always good to be honest and open in all types of communication, not just interviews. When i do not know the answer i say can you repeat the question id="hidden11" class="buttons"> then i say what needs to be said, with that 20 seconds to think. Its always good to do research on the company and the job role first, generally speaking. I am a Christian, and i let The Holy Spirit guide me into every choice i need to make and it includes job interviews. Its always good to pray before an interview and just be determined. ....وسعت 78

@themobileentrepreneurمنذ 2 سنوات Thanks sir, you deserve my subscription. I am a graduate with a first class in my Master's degree but was wondering why interviewers were more impressed id="hidden19" class="buttons"> by my academics than my interview.

Thanks once more. ....وسعت 14

@oekfoh8684منذ 3 سنوات Great video, one thing I would have to say though which is probably implied in guides such as this is to also be yourself, otherwise you will look robotic id="hidden20" class="buttons"> or fake.
I feel like the reason why I'm in the position that I am in my workplace is because of me just being myself right from the beginning. It could of been pure luck and wouldn't work for everyone but I had a simple resume (if it even was that) with just my relevant work experience, my available hours and my contact number if ever they were interested. During the interview I was just straight up, and honest and never used jargon words or anything that sounds smarter than I really was.
This probably doesn't apply to everybody for every job, but being myself and blunt, worked for me and I am more than happy with my career progress at 25 years of age ....وسعت 8

@brewn0teمنذ 2 سنوات When asked for a specific example, I liked the added idea of acknowledging that "I've been in that situation before." before saying you id="hidden22" class="buttons"> need some time to think about it.
