WHAT TO DO IF YOU CAN’T ANSWER AN INTERVIEW QUESTION! 

*Picks up water bottle shaking like crazy*

Interviewer: Miss, this is your 5th glass of water Me: IM THINKING OK?

If that question is near the end of the interview just take a drink and start choking really bad. Chances are it will be forgotten. 😂

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself. Me: Let me get back to you later

I excuse myself to get a glass of water, and come back 30 minutes later with an excellent answer

I got nervous and threw the water at the interviewer and ran out 😅😅

I finished 3 bottles of water and then I forgot the question in general

For technical interviews, I've either said I'm currently learning that skill/tool they're asking me about and tell them as much as I know, or I tell them that I was an assistant to someone who used the skill/ tool and wasn't tasked to utilize said item, or I'm just honest and say I don't know however it sounds like it's something I would come across and I look forward to this company teaching me about it.

I take a water bottle to my interview, the screwing and unscrewing the lid give you a little more time 😅😭

Interviewer: Why should we hire you? Candidate: Because I am always hydrated 😂😂😂😂

Out of all the interviews I been to I only been often a glass of water once, but remember good manners whilst drinking it.

Ends up being a virtual interview lol

U killing me off o 😂 I hope they don't send them home and ask them to re-apply so that they'll be able to answer another time😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love this!

Interviewer: "May I have your name?"

He's being Charismatic 😂😂😂😂

They dont give water but bringing a bottle of water would be a good alternative!

It's so tricky when you come from a doffeent field of work and are expected to use this beautiful technical language. Those who are good with words will get the job.

Thank you so much for your videos! I actually have an interview tomorrow for a career change tomorrow! I'm so nervous but this information is definitely helpful

They don't offer you water anymore even if you comuted from another city. I went for a job interview recently, and it was one of the hottest days. It was one of the roughest days because I couldn't make it on time due to the train losing its signals. Spent £116 quid to attend the interview, money wasted, annual leave wasted. When I got off the train, I was thirsty and hungry. I didn't get time to buy water or food. I wasn't even offered water when I got there. I left home early, but trains made me late. The interviewers are heartless in the present time. They don't make decisions with sympathy or mercy. They had 10 post didn't even give me one. I've been taken as a joke throughout my career. My qualifications and experience were overlooked.

It is also alright to take a few seconds to think. Never say that you dont know, say something positiv about the company and give a slightly correct answer😁. They'll know that you dont know but they wont think bad about it.

Job interviews are in general a pain the ass.

you cannot go back because usually, it is a one time interview per manager/ officer.

Takes a sip of water, chokes on the last drop, starts panicking, dies on the floor like a fish out of the water

My career coach thank you very much! for your consistent positive career videos, it has really helped me. God bless you.

You can answer like sorry i don't know the answer or sorry I'm not familiar with the question and I don't know the answer, but if you give me enough time and resources i will learn it with the utmost of my ability 😊

I have never received water in an interview

Glass of water , I only been offered it once , but it important to say thank you and drink it politely and not blow bubbles . I once got offered alcohol for a job interview but declined it

Oh wow.I never thought you can answer an interview question after leaving the interview

John cena without hair😂

Sometimes I ask if they can re-phrase the question. Done it on a few successful interviews!

Richard, your are amazing personality, i have attended the interview and very soon I will offer letter. Thank you for guidance 🤝

Good tip. I'll have to try that one. Usually I drink it then fake a poisoning. 😮

Interviewer : so tell me about yourself Me after drinking the whole cup : gimme time and ill answer you the next time hopefully :)

Choking on glass of water gives you so much time you can’t believe

They give you water !!!!!😂😂😂

this is why i failed my final interview because I didn't bring a water bottle and they also didn't give me water during my interview...

They listen to your video and now there's no water bottle on the table.. 🧐🤣

Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹, I will tell him I will come back to you with the right answer 😉

Yes, that glass of water was key. I hope they didn't notice how often I took a sip, lol.

thank you very much for this important knowledge to us

Or you can finish the glass of water. Ask for a refill and do a quick Google search. 😂😂

I chucked down the water in the vase on the table, since the HR didn't keep a glass of water for me .

im gonna need a gallon of water

If only there was water in every interview room I've ever attended 🥴 never was there water. So I guess I'm going to have to get back to them haha. But I've always taken my own water bottle along. Thanks for the tips

I learned a lot from your videos，really appreciate your sharing and efforts.

I never get water 😂😂

I have never gotten a glass of water during my interviews 😂

Sir, howcome, they usually expect us to answer on the spot. BTW, ur advisory videos help me and my colleagues alot in Yemen.

Hello, Kindly can you please tell us how to talk about the differences when asked to demonstrate our technical skills outlined in the job description vs to demonstrate our experience outlined in the job description? They look quite confusing and somehow hard to tell the difference. The questions in the application were: Please give details of why you are applying for this role and how you demonstrate the skills outlined in the job description? Vs how you demonstrate your experience. Thank you in advance!

So... What's the best thing please. Is it advisable to carry water for an interview How do i go about that... Is it also bad if i dont drink the water or take a sip out of the water they offered me

I was not given water. Guess I'm gonna have to pretend and gesture it.

❤ thank you for this tips

*Accidentally knocks water onto table *

I had a final interview two weeks ago. Inteeview seemed very engaging and even went 8 mins more than the expected time. I was told by the hiring manager at the end of the interview that keep in touch with the recruiter, who did my first interview. I was also told that in 5-7 days i ll hear back from them. Its been over 2 weeks now, i was checking with the recruiter as requested. Recruiter still did not get any feedback from the hiring manager. It is a relatively new warehouse launch in my country. However the company us operating over 30 countries now. I was told by the recruiter that as soon as they hear back from the hiring manager, they ll inform me. As i said its been two weeks now. What to do ?

I was only offered something to drink at a restaurant, and I chose coke. Long atory short, I didnt get the job but I got two free drinks

If they didn't give you a glass of water, pretend there is one and do all motions as demonstrated in the video.

I have never been offered a drink of water. So would it be proper to ask for a drink just before they start the interview?

Me expecting a glass of water over zoom. 👁️ 👁️ 👅

Thankyou you really helped me. Yesterday I was being interviewed and one question she asked and I was unable to answer I just logged out to fetch better answer but back to email I wasn't able to find it again.

Hehehheh😂🎉😅❤ Nice presentation mate 😊

I have job interview tomorrow for a supervisor role .

I have done exactly this on a zoom meeting, except it was my own cup. I think it is a professional way to buy you an additional minute or two!

So what about if they don't give you a cup of water?

Will this not result in loosing the job?

This is hilarious

Thank you richard! I got the job!!!🔥

Depending on the type of question, I always let the interviewer know that I cannot think immediately a response or have not dealt with the subject matter for a long time and will get back with a written response. If it's technical related, I always try to give a high level response and say I cannot think of a detailed one. For eg. I was asked to provide 3 Linux commands related to security, and the last time I used it was over 15 yrs ago. I just told him I have not used it for over 15 years because i have been in management all these years, so have not done any hands on work with Linux, but have managed technical staff who use it daily to get work done. I try to be transparent.

I have never been given a glass of water or a bottle, for that matter!

Not in an interview tho but is it normal that I couldn't answer a question like "introduce yourself"? I feel a bit miserable ngl 💀

I didn’t get anything to drink 😂

I have an interview in American express and they mostly ask situational and behavioural questions so if i don’t know answer for that, Can i say this same to them ? Or do i have to say something else. I’ll appreciate your reply

Start shaking while holding the glass of water then spill it on the floor 😂ask for a towel

What motivates you in team member job role? Please help me answer that? Anything in hospitality

I thought about asking for a 2nd glass of water...

Greetings sir,thank you for the great job you are doing. However,I have an interview coming up as a private home security technician. Kindly help me out sir

I love your Cockney accent !! 😃

If you still can't answer after drinking the whole glass , ask for another one. It's a power move to dominate the situation

Nice trick 🤣

I’ve never been offered water in an interview

Good tips, and good videos overall but I would kindly suggest a lower tone. It is difficult to listen as you are speaking very loud and a bit stressful. I believe your videos so benefit by a more calm tone. Thank you for your advice.

Nice tip thank you 👍🏻

Never have I been offered water at a job interview 🤔😒

I have never been offered a drink in any job interview...

Can we circle back ?

They don’t offer a glass of water in my part of the world. So what do I do?

I will do with every question then😂

In this part of word 🇳🇬 am yet to attend interview where glass of water is offered 😅😅 good tip anywhere

😂then you have just failed the the interview with dignity 😂😅😂😅

thank you very much

Doesn't make sense. This will make you hesitant and not comfortable or knowledgeable with the answer. Thus you won't take the job

These comments have me crying 😂😂😂

I have a question for you, If I am researching for a firm and then I got their number to call them everytime I commit the call I always have this answer we are currently full how can I in my next call convince them to give me a chance to conduct an interview

I got a position once by answering "fk ya" and I was in. Nothing shady. Paratrooper.

Ive never been given a glass of water or anything to drink

I like it thanks

Unfortunately on some technical question dosent work, if u dont know so u dont know But I laugh a lot being reading comments. People realy take fun

good thing i bring 2 liters of water jug

Sir what to do in virtual interviews?

that's literally me😌

Good advice, but hate to say this, not being able MAY lead you to not getting a job....dependent on the job, industry, etc. If anything, you take it as a learning opportunity to know how to answer the question moving forward.
