The Behavioral Interview is a proven and widely used method of exploring a candidate’s suitability for the position and how this person may/may not fit in the organization’s work culture.  It goes beyond just looking at the candidate’s educational and work history to determine the right fit; this interview probes the candidate for specific examples of past behavior as they relate to the job requirements. This approach to interviewing makes it difficult for a candidate to simply “make something up”.

1. Behavior based interviewing is designed to uncover how the interviewee acts/behaves in specific employment-related situations.
2. The logic is that how you behaved in the past will predict how you will behave in the future i.e. past performance predicts future performance.
3. Behavioral interview questions are more pointed, more probing and more specific than traditional interview questions.
4. In a behavioral interview, there are no hypothetical questions.
5. The interviewer wants to know a job candidate handled a situation, instead of what they might do in the future.
6. This is a 2-Day program. Participants are asked to bring information about current vacancies in their companies to DEVELOP behavior-based questions and PRACTICE using these questions in a mock interview.
