Answering questions on the spot can be difficult and nerve-wracking.
 * Caitlin Upton proved on national television how difficult it can be to answer any question on the spot.
 * The same thing can happen to anyone at a job interview.

Be creative and stay professional. Don't panic! Realize that interviewers make mistakes too.
 * Some interviewers purposely ask questions they know will catch you off-guard
 * They don't do it to be rude or try to make you babble on like an idiot; it's simply to see how you handle pressure.
 * Try to come up with fun or quirky answers to show that you're confident and can think on your feet, BUT remain professional.
 *  NEVER answer with "I don't know."
 * If you draw a blank, ask the interviewer to clarify. It may not give you as much information as you would like, but you get a few extra moments to piece together an answer.
 * One of the worst things you can do is give a rambling response that doesn't answer the question.
 * If the interviewer asks an illegal or uncomfortable question, they're not always being rude; although they should know better, they make mistakes.
 * You do have the choice to not answer the question, but know it may lose you the job opportunity.
 * The best thing you can do is answer all the questions.
 * You always have the choice to not take the job if the answers were unpleasant.
