Acing the Behavioral Interview

Thank you, sponsor!!

Has anyone had a behavioral interview recently?

i had one today for the investment club at santa clara

I was interrogated yesterday but I have no idea if it was behavioral

was it interrogation like "where's the money?" or interrogation like "what would you do if you knew where the money was"?

Outcomes over activity 🔥

The career center at SU certainly tells people to have a script prior to going to events and interviews for several of these kinds of questions. Have a couple of moments that can cover a range of answers.

When I interview people, I pick questions from a library in our recruiting system around similar themes like this

Is it important to get a feel of the company's culture prior to telling an authentic story, or is it good to put at least one authentic story in your arsenal based off of the vibes of the recruiter?

You had a story right off the bat, bravo!

Good stories!

Great responses!

good job!

Cav you are a great story teller! Thank you for sharing

Why was it difficult?

i like how you take ownership and accountability of this misunderstanding maya

sounds like a stressful situation 😵

That’s great feedback Noelle! Thank you—I do struggle with this on Zoom, and especially since I am a bit anxious it’s hard to look straight on

i agree! i noticed how calm and well spoken you are jenny. it’s a good skill to have indeed

Good confidence

Really great job Katrina. Your story was so clear and succinct. Also you are very expressive which I love.

great job katrina !!

Carter!

Our group honestly killed it!

Good job everyone who was brave enough to answer their questions! It's scary to go in front of others.

Tell me about a time when you had to quickly ramp up your understanding of a complex
topic. How did you approach it, and what was the outcome?
Walk me through a mistake you recently made. How was it discovered, what was the
impact, and what did you learn?
Describe a time you failed to communicate properly. What did you learn, and what would
you change?
Tell me about a time you worked with someone difficult. How did you handle it?
Describe a goal you achieved that made you proud. What steps did you take?

Thanks Dean!!
