Tell me about a time…part 2

A follow up to an earlier post on interviewing. If you are in the midst of a job search, be prepared to answer the questions below. 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. Used your political savvy to push a program that you really believed in.
2. Had to deal with an irate customer.
3. Delegated a project effectively.
4. Surmounted a major obstacle.
5. Set your sights too high or too low.
6. Prioritized the elements of a complicated project.
7. Got bogged down in the details of a project.
8. Lost or won an important contract.
9. Made a bad decision.
10. Hired or fired the wrong person.

Being ready is the best luck. More to come on interviewing.
