Five Alternatives To Saying "I Don't Know"

Five Alternatives To Saying "I Don't Know":



"Nothing can fluster even the most unflappable professional like being asked a question to which they don’t know the answer. Appearing incompetent or uninformed is one thing, but what makes this scenario even worse is when you’re asked the ‘impossible question’ in a group setting."


Adèle did a nice job with the minutes of yesterday's class.  Have a look. (Jade Mountain's Moments)



Have a good weekend.  (Have a good Gala!)

See you next week.

How to Answer the 31 Most Common Interview Questions

How to Answer the 31 Most Common Interview Questions:

Perhaps you want to select some of these answers as... 'the best of the breed"!

How to Answer the 31 Most Common Interview Questions:

"Wouldn't it be great if you knew exactly what a hiring manager would be asking you in your next interview?
While we unfortunately can't read minds, we'll give you the next best thing: a list of the 31 most commonly asked interview questions (and, of course, some expert advice on how to answer them).
While we don't recommend having a canned response for every question (in fact, please don't), we do recommend spending some time getting comfortable with what you might be asked, what hiring managers are really looking for in your responses, and what it takes to show that you're the right man or woman for the job.
Consider this your interview study guide."
