Using language skills to avoid privacy topics

When dealing with strangers, such as being asked about income, age, occupation, address and other privacy you don't want to disclose, you can use some language skills to avoid these topics. For example, you can avoid the heavy and take the light: "my income is the general level of our industry. What's your industry like?" You can also avoid answering: "the age of a lady is a secret!" You can also ask the other person: "what do you think I do?"

But in some cases, it's not feasible to simply avoid problems. You have to be honest and skillfully answer some sharp questions. For example, in the process of interview, the interviewer's questions should be answered pertinently. For example, when the interviewer asks you to talk about your weaknesses, in the face of your previous failures, you can focus on finding and solving problems. At the same time, you should be frank about your failures, but don't exaggerate them. This will give the interviewer a sincere, capable, and self-improvement ability of a good impression.
