Why it matters

Behavioural questions ask about real situations: a hard bug, a disagreement, a mistake, something you are proud of. Prepare six to eight stories in advance, using a structure such as situation, task, action, result, and make the action part about what you did. Career changers have an advantage here: your previous work gave you stories about deadlines, conflict and responsibility. Use them. Trap: vague answers. 'I'm a team player' is not a story.

How to use this resource

A clear method that makes behavioural answers much less intimidating.
