Behavioral Questions
How to Give Effective Answers to Behavioral Interview Questions
- Understanding what your interviewer wants insight into is a good first step to effectively answering behavioral questions. Keep these points in mind while practicing your answers:
- Be honest. Don’t invent a story or situation that you think your interviewer wants to hear—just share a truthful example. You can—and should—craft your answer to be appropriate for the context of the role for which you’re interviewing, but don’t lie.
- Go step by step. The beginning is a very good place to start. If the question is about steps you’d take to do something, start with the first and detail each one until the end. If the question asks you do share an example situation, offer a brief overview of the situation before laying out your involvement in it—start to finish.
- Prepare for follow-up questions. Be thorough, but don’t try to cram too much into an answer—there will likely be follow-up questions, such as, “How did they respond?” or “What happened next?” or “What did they do?”
- When you’re well versed in your answers to behavioral interview questions, you’ll be more confident during your interview. Paired with a well-written cover letter and an appropriate resume, your interview will be the right kind of head-turning.
