Behavioral Interview

The power of story telling
What are behavioral interviews?
⁠
Behavioral interview questions
⁠
are designed to give hiring managers insight into your behavior and personality, and to learn how you would handle work-related situations.

The Story Teller Framework
Stories are at the heart of every great interview — they make you memorable and they root your experience in something tangible. Like any great story teller, we want to take our interviewers on a journey. None of us are born story tellers, but with the help of the
STAR Method
⁠
we will have a framework to structure our stories.

Curate a list of Behavioral Questions

Think of 5-10 meaningful stories in your career.
Were you able to uncover the challenges, navigate through the complexities, manage the scope, and express the impact of the work you have done?
These stories should elicit emotion. The interviewer should feel your passion, empathize with the complexity of the challenge, and be elated by the impact of the work you’ve done.
