Often employers will ask you questions that may seem hard to answer and make you squirm. Here are some great ways to answer some of those questions in an interview. Tough Interview Questions
But let’s say you are pretty sure you’re going to have to address questions about your past that you would rather not. For example, if you have an arrest or prison record, or gaps in employment, or you’ve never worked because of a number of reasons – you were a homemaker, you’ve only had volunteer or temporary jobs you will likely feel anxious about how to answer those questions.
Your main intent in responding should be to focus on what you’ve learned as a result of your situation. You can also speak of the projects or organizations that you were involved in and the skills you gained from them.
Primarily, you must always be honest. Never, ever lie in an interview. There are many ways today an employer can check your answers and a lie most often ends badly for you.
