[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 236740, member: 43563"] [USER=33968]@FutureTraineeMaybe[/USER] this is actually more common than people think, it's definitely happened to me a few times, AC or standard job interview. I think the way to navigate this is to first ask for some time to consider the question, don't be afraid of taking a few seconds to gather your thoughts. If it's definitely something you don't know or can't even think of, then let them know you hadn't considered it before but you're still willing to give it a try and attempt the answer. I think they'll admire your honesty and actually may try guiding your answer for you as you stumble. All in all, they want to see your thought process. You're may come to the wrong conclusion, but who knows how impressed they could be with the thought process you used to get there. [/QUOTE]
