1. Buy some time: stay silence for a couple of seconds and then say a
generic sentence such as “say “hmmm…that’s an interesting question.
Let me play it back to you to make sure that my understanding is correct”
2. Rephrase the case: “So basically what you’re saying is that…is that
right?”
3. Ask clarifying question: “Can I ask some background questions before
I get started?...what do you mean by...”. Don’t assume anything. Different
companies use different vocabulary. Asking clarifying question will
demonstrate your professionalism and not your ignorance
