Interview Prep: How to Prepare for Behavior-Based Interview Questions

Behavior-based interview questions are SO COMMON during interviews. You'll likely find +80% of questions are behavior-based. So what is a behavior-based interview question? Behavior-based interview questions required you (the candidate) to describe specific examples where you've had to use specific skills (AKA BEHAVIORS). These skills and behaviors aren't exclusive to the work/professional environment. They can also be skills or behaviors you've used in school, or in relationships outside of work (friendships, family relationships, etc.). It's a way to let your potential future employer know what you are capable of and what to expect of you when you join their organization.

In this week's video, I share 8 potential types of behavior-based interview scenarios you can prepare. By preparing at least these 8 types of responses, you will likely be able to answer ANY behavior-based interview questions the interviewers throw at you. By tweaking your 8 different scenarios you've prepared, you can answer every question without hesitation or feeling like you have to "wing" your answers.

Behaviour-based questions. The hardest ones to answer, in my opinion, because we have not always faced that situation in the past, but we must talk about it, that means we have to be creative and think really fast. At least some of the questions may be common, like the ones you mentioned in this video, so it is possible to imagine a scenario and rehearse it. I would like to say thank you for sharing this valuable information on your channel. Very helpful. Wish you the best, Abby!

I don't mind these questions, and I almost always have an example. However, my problem is having many examples of answers for questions you may be asked, and. then trying to pick out of you brain the perfect example for the question that has been asked. This is why I think with interviews, you should be allowed to prepare for the questions by them sending them to you beforehand. Especially these type of questions. Many people would be perfect for some jobs but because they get nervous or can't think of the perfect example for an answer, they get written off as being unsuitable for the job

Abby, you are fabulous. Your tips are helpful and your way of presenting them makes me more curious about how to approach interview questions more confidently. I was wondering if you are planing to also provide a summary, a handout of your clips, as I would love to see a kind of documentation. Thank you so much for doing this:-)

Thanks for this video. I have a doubt, can I use a example of situation that was not sucessful?
