Master the Behavioral Questions

SITUATION OR TASK ACTION YOU TOOK RESULTS ACHIEVED

Describe the situation that you were in or the task that you needed to accomplish. Be

specific on the event or situation. Be sure to give enough detail for the interviewer to understand. This situation can be from a

previous job, from a volunteer experience, or any relevant event.

Describe the action you took and be sure to keep the focus on you. Even if you are not

discussing a group project or effort, describe what you did – not the efforts of the team.

Don’t tell them what you might do, tell them what you did.

What happened? How did the event end? What did you accomplish? What did you

learn? Be positive!

Useful Speaking Tips

Let others help you out: use examples of quotes from bosses or customers, i.e., “My boss gave me a good performance review, they liked the way I stepped in to get the job done without being told to.” This demonstrates your willingness to accept contribution, your flexibility and teamwork skills.

Use recent examples: Use events from the last 12-18 months so that the detail is fresh in your mind. Be as specific as possible about your contribution and the quantitative results achieved. Specific absolute or relative (%) gains in areas such as cost or time savings will give the interviewer a clearer picture of your abilities.

Practice telling your stories: Don’t stop until they are vivid and concise (1-3 minutes long). What separates you from other candidates is the interviewer’s belief on how you will fit into the company’s culture.
