What can I do if I am stumped on a question?

Silence is Golden!

It's true, silence can be uncomfortable during an interview, but do not jump in and add irrelevant comments just to fill air space. If you are experiencing trouble while trying to answer a question, don't be afraid to wait a few seconds before responding. The use of filler words, such as "uh," "um," and "hmmm" is rather annoying. So, give it time and have your words well thought-out!
