    If an interviewer asks a question and you don't know the answer, how would you approach it appropriately? keen on any advice :)
    @applicant3000 the best approach is to first take a minute to think about the answer, and let them know you just need to think. If however, the answer doesn't come to you, let them know that you'd not considered this topic before or cannot recall a piece of information AND if you're willing to give it a go anyway, then proceed to do so. It's not as devastating as you think it is, if you approach it in an open manner.
