Behavioural Interview Questions
And How To Give Great Answers!

During interviews, we ask all candidates several behavioural interview questions (also known as situational interview questions).

And it's not just our Company who do this. Behavioural Interviewing is becoming increasingly common and is used by most large companies, especially in the financial sector, so it pays to be prepared.

We'll explain the types of questions you'll be asked, why you're asked them and how to give good answers.

What Are Behavioural Interview Questions?

So instead of asking you:

• "What would you do if someone disagreed with you?",

  we ask:

• "Tell us about a time when someone disagreed with you".

In other words they are simply open-ended questions about your behaviour in past situations. They will relate directly to the requirements of the job you are applying for, so your clue is in the advert!

For example, if the advert calls for someone who can handle difficult customers, you might well be asked a situational question about this. If it asks for influencing skills, expect a question asking you to give an example of when you have successfully influenced.

Why Do Interviewers Ask Situational Interview Questions?

In fact research we've carried out suggests that behavioural interviewing is FIVE times more accurate than traditional interviewing techniques.
