I recently faced a challenge during job interviews where I struggled with vague questions. As someone who identifies as autistic, I find it difficult to respond to generic prompts without giving equally generic answers. For instance, when asked how I would solve a problem, my instinct is to say, "by solving it," which doesn't really provide the interviewer with the insight they need. In another instance, when asked how I would handle a difficult situation with a coworker, my mind goes blank, and I end up saying, "I would handle it," without any specifics. I realize they are looking for examples from my past, but I often freeze up and can't recall a situation that fits the question. Currently, I work with a team lead who seems to have it out for me, but I just focus on completing my tasks despite the negative atmosphere. I don't typically react emotionally to these situations, which might be why I struggle to articulate my experiences in interviews. I'm trying to find ways to give more concrete answers without sounding vague. I've received advice to ask for clarification when questions are too broad, and I’ve started creating a list of common interview questions with bullet-point answers to help me prepare. However, my anxiety often makes it hard to remember these points during the actual interview. I’m looking for strategies to improve my responses to vague interview questions while managing my anxiety.
