Prepare for Tough Questions

Interviewers love to ask tough questions. They are not always looking for the correct answer, rather how you come to an answer. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:

When asked a seemingly random question, reason your way to the answer out loud. A moment of silence to compile an answer is expected, but an extra long pause gives the impression that you really don't understand.

Difficult personal questions are best answered with honesty. You don't have to tell him/her about a disaster you caused, rather an incident that you handled well. Think about these situations ahead of time for confident answers.

Think through personal and work situations that you have been involved with in your past. This will help you quickly recall pertinent sitiuations when they come up in the interview.

If you don't have a relevant answer to a pointed question, tell the interviewer what you would do in that situation.
