Interview Styles Series – #2 Behavioural Interviews - Social-Hire

RT @Social_Hire: Thanks to Michelle Lopez for contributing these tips on succeeding in behavioural job interviews http://t.co/Tipi8QoWzu
Trish Sadar's insight:

In several of our postings we have discussed the different type of interview formats as well as the different type of interview questions.

 

Behavioral Interviews ask questions surrounding not what would you do; however, how you specifically handled various situations.  The questions are crafted with specific competencies in mind.

 

Our method for answering behavioral questions to keep you concise and to the point is by remembering CAR.

 

C - Describe the circumstances of the situation you were faced with

A - Describe the actions and the people who you involved

R - What was the result of the actions you took (here you want to mention how it impacted:  Revenues, Costs, Customer Service, Relationships, etc.)

 

Hope these articles help you...please let us know if there is something in specific you would like information on.  These blogs are for you, and we want to make sure that you are reading what is important to you.

 

Make it a great day!

Mock job interviews are a great way to prepare for the real thing. Here's a guide to recording and reviewing your performance (Preparing for an #interview?
Trish Sadar's insight:

You can also audio tape your responses, and listen to how you sound.  Practicing with friends and family always help as well.

 

Instead of the STAR method when it comes to responding to behavioral interview questions...I suggest the CAR method.

 

C - Describe the circumstances (Who, What, When, Where and decisions you needed to take)

A - Describe the actions you took and who you involved

R - Explain the results ...KPIS, positive impact on customer service, customer satisfaction, productivity, revenues, etc.

 

Make it a great day!!!
