STAROOT JOURNAL KASIE BIZ PROFILE “How to answer behavior al inter view questions”

veryone knows that companies invite candidates for a job interview to see if they’re suitable for the vacancy at the company. Not only do potential employees have to possess the necessaryskills to successfully complete their projects and duties if they were to land the job, but this person also has to be a good fit within a professional environment. While companies aren’t judging you on your tastes (your favourite ice-cream flavour or music genre), they are judging your values, character, and vices. If they can fish how you’d react in certain situations, if they can get a sense of what type of choices you’ll make in a given work situation, then they’ll be able to decide if you’ll be an asset or liability to their organisation. And they’ve created a great way to get this sense: by asking you about past behaviour so that they can predict what your future behaviour will be like. That’s why in every job interview you attend, you will be asked at least one behavioural question.

…failed and how you dealt with it. …struggled to build a relationship with someone important. How did you overcome it? What they really want to do is explain how you’ve dealt with various professional situations, how you handle difficulties, and which soft skills you possess. How to answer behavioural questions: The best way to answer this type of question is to follow the

S-T-A-R method: S = Situation Provide a context and describe the background. You should try to answer: How was the problem brought to light? Example: At my last company, we had been receiving a big amount of negative reviews from our customers. T = Task Describe the problem and the challenges of the situation. You should try to answer: What was wrong? Behavioural questions usually begin with: Example: I voluntarily joined the task force that was created to find “Tell us about...” a solution, and I was voted to be the leader. …your proudest professional achievement. A = Action …a time you were dissatisfied at work. Explain what you did to try and fix the problem. …a time when you worked under extremely close supervision and You should try to answer: What moves did you make? how you handled it. Example: We analysed customer service feedback for the next ...a successful presentation you gave and why you think it was a 2 weeks and noticed a pattern: most complaints were about unhit. professional customer service staff. I called regular brainstorming “Give an example of when…” sessions to come with viable solutions. Eventually, we decided to …you were able to be creative with your work.
