Tell me about a time when you…

I know a lot of very good folks in the midst of job searches at the moment. Be prepared to answer “behavioral-based” interview questions. Behavioral Interviewing is becoming more common and is based on the concept that the most accurate predictor of future performance is past performance in similar situations.

Below are some “Tell me about a time when you…” questions that will come up in your next interview:
1. Worked effectively under pressure.
2. Handled a difficult situation with a co-worker.
3. Were creative in solving a problem.
4. Missed an obvious solution to a problem.
5. Were unable to complete a project on time.
6. Persuaded team members to do things your way.
7. Wrote a report that was well received.
8. Anticipated potential problems and developed preventative measures.
9. Had to make an important decision with limited facts.
10. Were forced to make an unpopular decision.

Being ready is the best luck.
