The whole point of case studies is to eventually come to the conclusion, you won’t ALWAYS know everything, your job is to structure your questions, intakes, etc, and then present gaps, assumptions and next steps logically
Half of any job that deals in frameworks is knowing roughly which framework will work, coupled with just not sounding like you are lost when you are presenting back
Hang in there buddy, it's the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's all about being confident in tackling unfamiliar situations.
It’s like studying for an interview, after you go over all the content and prep all you can you realize you can still be thrown curveballs.
The way I would practice this is film myself with a mirror and record my answers and play back my body language and voice / tone, when I didn’t know something or the answer to a question and just had to ad lib or come up with something. End Result was the following:
1. Say something like “That’s interesting” or “Let me think about this” to buy yourself some time along with the pause to organize your thoughts. Ideally have a pen and paper with you so you can at least add to that with potentially writing something down while you gather your thoughts.
2. Use that minute or so to just ensure whatever it is you are thinking about or articulating, right or wrong, is structured and has a definitive start, path, reasoning and ending.
3. Deliver what you just thought about and came up with as your response in a cool and confident way, without going too fast and leaving open potential questions thrown at you along the way. This may or may not happen. Answer accordingly when they come up.
The whole point of what I just said is you can never fully prep for anything whether it’s case or any interview / behavioral.
What you CAN do is prepare your approach and body language and tone and demeanor when you get caught off guard with something you don’t know or need some time to react to, and then answer accordingly as you calibrate.
Part of my interview prep is just trying my best to prepare my mind and reactions in the event something I don’t know pops up and coming up with an approach that I can utilize for that. THAT will go a long way in serving you well through the course of interviews in your career.
Hope this helps.
