Looking for a Job and getting hammered on Behavioral Based Interview Questions?

It happens often.

Behavioral based interviewing is interviewing based on determining how you performed in specific work situations. How you performed in the past will predict how you will perform in the future. The rule being:

“Past Performance Predicts Future Performance.”

How do you overcome it?

The quickest way is to get the job description and look for behaviors for which you anticipate the prospective employer is requiring.

There are no wrong or right answers.

The interviewer is trying to understand how you performed in a given situation. Your response determines if there is a fit between your skills and the position available.

So listen carefully, be clear and detailed when you respond, and most importantly, be honest.
