4. When you're pressed on a sensitive point.

When Terry Gross pressed Chuck D, leader of rap group Public Enemy, about one of members of his group making anti-Semitic remarks, he answered vaguely a number of times and then said bluntly, *Let's move on,* which made him appear rude. Instead, he might have said, *I've really said all I can say about this. Can we go on to next question?* Or, *I've really answered this to best of my knowledge at this time with information I have available.*

Another way to handle persistent questions on a topic you wish to avoid is to give a series of very short responses, or answer them with information that is so charming or captivating interviewer won't notice you've deviated from his/her request. The interviewer will then feel as if his/her questions have been answered satisfactorily without being embarrassed by not being able to elicit a direct response from you.

5. When you haven't been asked something you want to cover.

Offer to share something interviewer hasn't thought of. Most often he/ she will greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness. Use a teaser tidbit. *I could tell you about...if you'd like.* It may surprise you but people rarely remember questions an interviewer poses. What they remember are your answers. And when they no longer remember your answers they remember feeling they received when hearing you speak.
