What is a Behavioral Interview? (Part 2)
According to Alyson Doyle, the guide to job searching at About.com, a behavioral interview “is based on the premise that a candidate’s past performance is the best predictor of future performance.” Given that, you have to prepare for it by making a mental compilation of your skills, values and interests. Emphasize these things during the interview as a way of assuring the hiring manager of your good future performance.
As much as possible, try to be precise in the information you will give. Detailed responses are more appropriate than short and direct ones. Be confident and relate to the hiring manager your work experiences and how this could help you be an asset to the company.
