Episode 07: Intro to Behavioural Interviews

In this video, we break down the goals, components, and best practices of Behavioural Interviews. While they are, for the most part, non-technical, you might find yourself faced with questions you don't feel ready to answer in an interview like this. This episode will help you understand what it's all about and how you can be genuine without shooting yourself in the foot.

As someone who's both conducted and been apart of hundreds of tech interviews, this is probably the best video resource explaining how behavioral interviews work (and should work) and expectations.

This is the best video I have watched on behavioral interviews after having watched about 10 hours of material. The rationale of the advice and the friendly tone is just what makes it awesome. He is approaching the audience as a friend and a mentor rather that a marketer hungry for attracting ridiculous number of viewers.
Thank you so much! This 1 hour was well worth it!

[BrunoJuliao]

I know the advice is as simple as "be yourself" but I loved so much all the information in between. Thanks a lot for this video.

Thank you! After years of teaching myself and experiencing a lot of rejection in the last 8 months, I've finally got a tech job without any commercial experience and started a new career path that I've wanted for a long time. Your realistic approach to interviews certainly helped me get there. Kudos!

[pinebitway]

This is the MOST useful video about the interviewing I've seen so far. Thank you very much Jackson!

[ramyak]

You sir are truly a blessing in disguise. I must really thank you for this video. I took your advice/pointers before my behavioral interview with a big tech company. Guess what? I made it through!

[edwin-jqdp]

You're doing God's work. Please, make more these type of videos about any content related to IT, actually I would love to see any type of video from you. The delivery, the usefulness and the actuality of topics are outright outstanding.

[deborar]

Hours and hours of material for interviews and none gave me the depth I found in this. Great video! So well explained

[irvinge]

Hello! I commented before and I watched your videos multiple times. I just wanted to stop by again and say thank you for this video. I just received two offers today and would not have gotten through them without your advice. Just having that sincere, honest, humble and genuine passion for learning kind of attitude will go a long ways :D

[mehrdadk.]

Found this video today, it's a gem no matter how old this is. You have a vey much high experience and you shared it with others, this means it's highly recommended to watch for anyone.

Thanks for the video, it is excellent.


As someone who is from a different culture and came to a different country, I had to play by the rules described in the local HR articles. For example, they mention that saying "I want this job because it pays well" is not perceived well in the US companies. So I had to come up with some bullshit which was perceived well.


It did help me to get high paying jobs in well known companies. Sometimes I got myself into a situation when I hated my job. But generally, I'm pretty good at doing my job and have never been fired (that just means I've never got impacted by a major layoff and never badly screw up anything personally). So for me it is just a matter of getting through the interview playing by the rules of not well known me culture.


I am trying to be brutally honest on my interviews now, it is not an easy thing to do after all :) Most of the time I hear back - thank you for your straight talk, but thank you. I do hope it will finally get me into the right place in my career though.

[vijuks]

I watched a few videos before watching this. Every other video was suggesting to put on a show in front of the interviewer, so hearing some one advising to be genuine was such a big relief!

[hesamkalhor]
