WHAT IF I get asked a question I don't know the answer to?

  • Résumé

  • Its a valid and very real thought to have, isn’t it? You’ve got an interview coming up on a subject you know well. You’ve been preparing for days and have an answer practiced for every question you can reasonably assume you’ll be asked. You sit down in the chair and they throw you a complete curveball. What do you do now? There was no warning, no context, yet here the question sits in the air, lingering like a bad smell and you don’t know the right words to make it go away. Its ruined your flow. This is a very real situation, and one could argue that it is almost guaranteed. It would be unreasonable to expect anyone to prepare for every single question that someone could feasibly ask, especially when they have no boundaries or restrictions keeping them on topic. So, how do we fix this? That’s where this week’s episode comes in. Charlotte and Luke share their storied wisdom on the matter, having been on both the interviewer and interviewee side of the table numerous times throughout their careers. We hear about when its ok to pause, how you can buy yourself time in the moment and when its actually ok to not answer the question at all! Moreover there are many situations, especially at work, where you will have legal protections against being asked certain questions! We also cover tropes like ‘steering’ that can cause you more harm than good and are perhaps best avoided. As well as looking into the increasing prevalence of highly reactionary responses in recent years.
