Behavioural based interview questions

Behavioural based interview questions often starting with “Tell me about a time when you…” or “give me an example when you…”.

These types of questions are often used to allow a candidate to describe how they reacted in the past to certain situations. They are becoming increasingly popular questions in interviews as they test the person being interviewed to gauge how they react to various circumstances.

One of the most important attributes of a good worker is that they respond well to different situations and can think on their feet. When you are asked one of these types of questions make sure your answer isn’t too general and describes what you have actually done in a similar circumstance in the past.

You can practice these questions quite easily and examples of popular questions can be found on many websites. Here is one to get you started.
