Young lady... if you have read the many responses in this thread, then you must know that a key element in succeeding with SQ is confidence.
And, as you discovered, if you are not confident, you become tongue tied and you fail.
What can you do about it? There are three ways of looking at this.
a) You must honestly ask yourself, "Am I outgoing enough to meet the challenges of this job?" Not all people can do this. Fact of life.
b) Seems to me that you were so busy trying to prepare an answer for the interviewer that you forgot that the interviewer could actually care less about what answer you give; he/she wants to know how you respond under pressure... answer is meaningless... how you answer is everything.
c) You are trying to impress an interviewer. Wrong! Try using your imagination. Imagine that the exact same question has just been asked by a Brit sitting in 17D... who really wants to put his hand into your panties. IMAGINE that you are actually on the plane... imagine that your interviewer is sitting in 17D... imagine that he has just asked you what your favorite cartoon character is...
Well... what would you say? You are talking to a SQ customer. You want to be friendly. You want to be professional. You want to divert someone who might come on to you. Is that an easy answer?
If it is, you will guaranteed make it to the next round next time; if you cannot figure out how you would deal with me... older ang mo with two scotches in him... then you are not cut out.
Ok, lah?
PS: It's not 'wad'... it's 'what'. Using proper English all the time can only benefit you, no matter what excuses to the contrary you might make.
