A common fear in interview is being asked a difficult question and your mind going blank. If this happens, the best advice would be to keep calm. Interviews are often structured in a particular way in order to assess the suitability of applicants. Therefore, some questions can often be anticipated, and if you have a general idea of what may be asked you can prepare a few ideas beforehand.
