How to Prepare for a Behavioral Interview Debbie Benami-Rahm: On behalf of tvlesson.com, my name is Debbie Benami-Rahm; a career expert with DBR Career Services. Let's talk a little bit about how to prepare for a behavioral interview/ I’d mention before that preparation is the key to being a great applicant and having your best foot forward, even before you have the interview. Well, now you know the interview is coming up and you have heard that they do behavioral interviewing. What behavioral interviewing? Let's start with the basics. Behavioral interviewing is basically used be the 85% of organizations that hire within the United States at this time. It's based on the fact that past behavior predicts future performance. So, the interviewer will be asking you about past examples from your employment history that will indicate to them how you will preform in their particular job, in their particular company. How do you prepare for this? Look at the job posting. Go through each and every requirement on that job posting and then look back in to your employment history whether you're coming straight out of school, whether you're returning to the workforce, whether you’ve come out of retirement and you're looking for a job. Look at what you’ve done over the past ten years and pull upon all of those experiences and all of the successes that you’ve had during that period of time and match that up with the job requirements. Be ready to answer questions that begin with ‘tell me about a time when you…,’ ‘describe for me a situation that you…,’ ‘how about a time that this happened, how did you handled that?’ And then be prepared for probes, ‘how, what, where, when, why, and what was your role in this particular accomplishment?’ By thoroughly preparing for behavioral interview, reviewing the job posting, reviewing your past ten years of employment or academic or community service, whatever you have been involved with, you will be able to put together examples that will show the interviewer or the hiring manager that you are indeed the qualified candidate for this particular position in your behavioral interview.
