1 STAR Method

The STAR method is a structured way of responding to behavioral interview questions by discussing the Situation, Task, Action, and Result. This technique helps you to organize your thoughts and deliver a comprehensive answer. When asked about a time you managed a project, for example, start by setting the scene (Situation), explain your responsibilities (Task), describe what you did (Action), and then share the outcome (Result). This method ensures that your answer is not only clear but also that it highlights your contributions and the positive impact of your actions.

2 Reflect Honestly

Honest reflection on your experiences is crucial when answering behavioral interview questions. You need to introspect and choose examples that truly represent your skills and work ethic. If you're asked about a challenge you faced, don't shy away from discussing a real obstacle, but focus on how you addressed it and what you learned. Authenticity in your responses will resonate with interviewers and can set you apart from candidates who offer rehearsed or exaggerated answers.

The simplest way to answer in any interview is based on your own experience. The way someone speaks about a specific situation differs from a person who personally executed it, a person who coordinated it, a person who witnessed it, a person who heard about it, etc. Among other factors are the fluidity when speaking, the energy in the voice, the non-verbal language, the natural level of detail, and the description. These elements transmit authenticity and enable a connection and interest in the interviewers. Additionally, when you respond with your own experience, you get rid of nervousness because you know your own story.

3 Practice Out Loud

Practicing your responses out loud is an effective way to prepare for behavioral interview questions. This practice can help you become more fluent in recounting your experiences and reduces the likelihood of stumbling over your words during the actual interview. When you speak your answers, you're also able to hear how they sound and make adjustments for clarity and conciseness. Remember, the goal is to communicate your experiences in a way that is both engaging and easy for interviewers to follow.

4 Tailor Examples

Tailoring your examples to the job you're interviewing for is essential. To do this effectively, research the role and company to understand what skills and qualities they value. Then, select examples from your past experiences that align with these attributes. If the role requires strong leadership skills, for instance, choose a scenario where you successfully led a team. By aligning your examples with the job requirements, you demonstrate to the interviewer that you have the specific experience they're looking for.

Adapte seus exemplos à vaga desejada. Pesquise a fun??o e a empresa para identificar as habilidades valorizadas. Selecione experiências anteriores que se alinhem a esses atributos. Essa personaliza??o mostra ao entrevistador que você possui a experiência específica necessária para o sucesso na fun??o.

A good way to prepare in advance for a behavioral interview is to review the information in the job posting. There, you can check the main responsibilities of the position and the requirements of the profile. Reflect on situations in your past employment where you had the same or similar responsibilities and where you displayed the qualities mentioned in the profile.

5 Balance Detail

Balancing detail in your responses is important to provide enough context without overwhelming the interviewer with information. While it's necessary to give a clear picture of the situation and your actions, avoid going off on tangents or including irrelevant details. Keep your answers concise yet informative, focusing on the aspects of your experience that directly relate to the question and showcase your skills effectively.

An important consideration to keep in mind is the time frame and the effectiveness of the information you want to share. Interviewers manage the time allotted, and I would say that an hour is a fair and typical timeframe. That being said, check the length of your answers and pay attention to the question. Only respond to what is asked, stay on the subject, be specific, and ask the interviewer if further details are needed. Remember that you have an hour to showcase most of your skills, qualifications, and experience.

6 Learn from Feedback

Finally, learning from feedback , whether from mock interviews or past interview experiences, is invaluable. Seek out opportunities to practice with friends, family, or mentors who can give you constructive criticism. Listen carefully to their insights on how you can improve your delivery and content. Use this feedback to refine your answers, ensuring that with each interview, you're presenting yourself more effectively and confidently.

Arm yourself with stories. Having conducted hundreds of behavior-based interviews, my best advice is to prepare at least five examples that showcase your skills and personality. This approach lets you quickly choose from your list the most relevant example for each question, whether it’s about leadership, managing challenges, or overcoming obstacles.
