Do you feel an obligation to answer questions directed at you?Imaging being asked at a recruitment interview “What are your weaknesses?” Would you feel compelled to answer truthfully?”
An alternative to answering a question is to ask one of your return. Put the obligation back on the questioner.
“What exactly do you mean by a weakness?”
“Do you mean personal or work?”
If you get a call in the evening about your energy supplier and they ask ” Are you the person in charge of paying the bills?”
Ask ‘why do you need to know?’
Don’t get annoyed or stressed. Stay calm and practise your ability to ask questions yourself.
