Do you know what a behavioural interview is? When was the last time you were in a behavioural interview, and how did it go?
Behavioural interview questions help employers understand how you've handled real workplace situations. Rather than asking what you would do, they'll ask what you have done.
Common questions include:
• "Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult colleague." Focus on how you resolved the situation professionally.
• "Describe a time you made a mistake." Be honest, explain what you learned, and show personal growth.
• "Tell me about a challenge you overcame." Highlight your problem-solving skills and the positive outcome.
A helpful approach is the STAR method: Situation → Task → Action → Result (https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/interviewing/common-behavioral-interview-questions-and-how-to-answer-them)
Employers are looking for real examples that demonstrate how you think, communicate, and solve problems.
