Behavioral Interviews

Benefits & Challenges

Challenges

Because only questions about past situations are asked, it can be tough to show how you may have changed for the better.

It can be difficult to pick examples effective in showing your best attributes.

Benefits

There are many online resources with references for common behavioral interview questions, so it is easy to prepare and know what to expect.

Behavioral interviews give a great opportunity for you to show the best examples of your successes and qualifications.

Because of the specific nature of the questions asked, it is easy to prepare your answers and examples in advance if you know what questions will be asked.

How to Prepare

Find a specific story that can show your employer to the positive behavioral characteristics based on the job you are applying for.

Review and learn about the job you are applying for so you can get an idea of what behavioral characteristics and skills your employer is looking for.

To prepare for a behavioral interview you should begin by learning and reviewing the questions often asked in interviews and come up with answers.

What to Expect

The questions asked in a behavioral interview are more specific and aim to help the interviewer understand if your past actions in relevant work situations demonstrate skills they think you need to be successful in the position.

Example Questions:

Tell me about a time you handled a tight deadline.

Describe a time you effectively dealt with a difficult situation with a supervisor.

Give an example of a goal you achieved and how you reached it.

What is a Behavioral Interview?

A behavioral interview is a face to face interview between you and an interviewer.

While the basic structure of the interview won't change, the questions asked will focus on how you acted in past work situations to predict how you'll act in the future.
