Behavioral-based interview tips part 3:
Answer:
☛ Remember, the four probes: "What did you think?" "What did you feel?" "What did you say?" and "What did you do?"
☛ Answer how you did behave instead of how you would or should behave (traditional interview approach) in a situation.
☛ Avoid saying, "What we did…" and instead tell them, "What I did…" The interviewer wants you to say "I" a lot.
☛ Steer clear of saying, "What I would do..", but recall "What I did…"
☛ Expect to talk about 80 percent of the time during the interview and persuade them why they should hire you.
☛ Remember that ABC reduces the risk that the interviewer will talk too much and dominate the conversation.
☛ Remember, these are situational questions that are open-ended, non-directional and concrete.
☛ Share a clear memory of the situation so interviewer feels as if they were present at the time the event actually happened.
☛ Use of examples will make you confident in your responses because you will feel like you are reliving it from direct experience.
☛ Anticipate the interviewer probing further after the initial question to gain more in-depth information.
