3. Behavioral Interview Questions Can be Tough...

Helps to prepare some...you didn't mention that you had done any research, so here's a link to About.com...they are pretty thorough in the discussion and samples of these kinds of questions.

Or just Google behavioral questions...these lots of sites.

FYI...I am an HR person...behavorial interviewing is actually the best kind of interviewing for positions...skill sets are one thing, but thought processes are another. Most of time when you get these questions the interviewers are looking to see how quick you think on your feet, can you reason, do you have processes that you go through. I agree these are subjective questions in many ways but they do serve a purpose.

I don't weigh the answers as much as I weigh how the applicant gets to the answer. I practice when I am going to interview for a job myself...and I would encourage you to do so. Look through these questions, figure out how you would answer them and practice. Will the same questions in an interview, most likely not identical but you should be better able to adapt to questions if you've done these exercise.

You aren't the lone ranger here...lots of people have issues with these questions because we are so in tuned with answering yes or no questions...behavorial questions are more editorial and subjective. This is definitely a trend in Human Resources right now, so it's better to prepare.

PM me if you have any questions you think I can answer for you.

Good luck!
