In a behavioral job interview, the company asks questions about your past work experiences in order to find out if you have the skills needed for the job. Behavioral-based interview questions focus on how you handled various work situations in the past. Your response will reveal your skills, abilities, and personality.﻿﻿

What are Behavioral Interview Questions?

The logic behind this interview tactic is that your behavior in the past reflects and predicts how you will behave in the future. But remember the interviewer isn't necessarily asking "yes or no" questions, and so it may help to review how to answer interview questions without a right (or wrong) answer.

Respond to these sort of questions with specific examples of how you have previously handled similar situations in the workplace.﻿﻿

Review these examples of the questions you may be asked during a behavioral job interview and think about how you would answer them. This way you'll be prepared ahead of time, rather than having to think of a response on the spot during the interview.

Technique for Answering Behavioral Interview Questions

The STAR technique is a useful strategy for responding to interview questions that require an anecdote. It's an excellent way to organize your thoughts. There are four steps to answering using this technique:

(S) Situation. Describe the situation in which the event took place.

(T) Task. Describe the task you were asked to complete. If there was a particular problem or issue you were trying to solve, describe that here.

(A) Action. Explain what action you took to complete the task or solve the problem.

(R) Results. Explain the result of your actions. For example, if your actions resulted in completing a task, resolving a conflict, improving your company's sales record, etc., explain this. Try to focus on how your actions resulted in a success for the company.

Read through the behavioral interview questions below. Practice answering some of these, using the STAR technique to provide complete answers. It may also help to review these common behavioral interview questions with answers.

Questions About Problem-Solving

What They Want to Know: These questions are intended to discover the analytical thought processes you use to problem-solve.

Give an example of an occasion when you used logic to solve a problem.

How do you handle a challenge?

Did you ever make a risky decision? Why? How did you handle it?

Give an example of a goal you reached and tell me how you achieved it.

Given an example of a goal you didn't meet and how you handled it.

When you worked on multiple projects, how did you prioritize?

Give an example of how you set goals and achieve them.

Questions About Teamwork

What They Want to Know: When a hiring manager asks questions about teamwork, this is usually because good teamwork and collaboration skills are essential to doing the job you're applying for effectively and efficiently. Be prepared to demonstrate how you have successfully been both a team leader and a team member or follower.

Have you ever dealt with company policy you weren't in agreement with? How?

Have you gone above and beyond the call of duty? If so, how?

Have you had to convince a team to work on a project they weren't thrilled about? How did you do it?

Give an example of how you've worked on a team.

Have you handled a difficult situation with a co-worker? How?

What do you do if you disagree with a co-worker?

Share an example of how you were able to motivate employees or co-workers.

What do you do if you disagree with your boss?

Questions About Stress

What They Want to Know: Like questions about teamwork, questions about how you handle stress are a good clue about the work climate you would be walking into should you land the job. Be honest in describing how you've dealt with pressure before in the course of your career.

Describe a stressful situation at work and how you handled it.

Tell me about how you worked effectively under pressure.

Describe a decision you made that was unpopular and how you handled implementing it.

How did you handle meeting a tight deadline?

What do you do when your schedule is interrupted? Give an example of how you handle it.

Have you handled a difficult situation with a supervisor? How?

Have you handled a difficult situation with another department? How?

Have you handled a difficult situation with a client or vendor? How?

Questions About Self-Knowledge

What They Want to Know: These questions are sometimes "trick" questions - how you answer them is as important as what you actually say. The hiring manager is interested in how you view your own strengths and weaknesses and how you have remedied mistakes you or others made in the past.

Have you been in a situation where you didn't have enough work to do?

Have you ever made a mistake? How did you handle it?

Did you ever postpone making a decision? Why?

Did you ever not meet your goals? Why?

Do you listen? Give an example of when you did or when you didn't listen.

Tips for Answering Behavioral Interview Questions

Take Your Time. It's okay to take a moment before answering the question. Take a breath, or a sip of water, or simply pause. This will give you time to calm any nerves and think of an anecdote that appropriately answers the question.

Prepare Ahead of Time. Review common behavioral interview questions ahead of time and practice your answers.

Follow the STAR Technique. Be sure to answer any questions using the STAR technique described above. By completing each of the four steps, you will provide a thorough answer without rambling or getting off topic.

Be Positive. Often, behavioral interview questions require you to focus on a problem or a failure at work. Describe the problem or issue you faced, but don't focus too much on the negative. Quickly shift to describing how you solved the problem and the positive results.

Do you have a job interview coming up? Are you prepared? The best way to get ready for an interview is to take the time to review the most common interview questions you will most likely be asked, along with examples of the best answers. Knowing what you're going to say can eliminate a lot of interview stress.

Prepare for the Interview

You don't need to memorize an answer, but do take the time to consider how you'll respond. The more you prepare, the more confident you'll feel during a job interview.

When you're not sure what to expect during an interview, also take time to review this refresher on how job interviews work, and these tips on how to prepare to ace your job interview.

Job Interview Questions and Answers

Here's a list of common job interview questions, with examples of the best answers about you, your work history and experience, the new job, salary, what you have to offer the employer, and your goals for the future.

Note

Questions About You

Interviewers will ask questions about you to gain insight into your personality and to determine whether you're a fit for both the job and the company. These are open-ended questions which will give you the opportunity to show the employer that you're well-qualified for the position.

Questions About Leaving Your Job

Employers almost always ask about why you left, or are leaving, your job. Be prepared with an explanation for why you're moving on. Do make sure the reasons you give match what past employers will say about you if they are contacted for a reference.

Why You Should Be Hired

Why should you be hired over the other applicants? What makes you the best candidate for the job? Here's when you'll have the opportunity to make a case for getting a job offer, and the chance to sell yourself to the interviewer.

Questions About Salary

Some of the hardest questions to answer during a job interview are about compensation. Here's what you will be asked and examples of the best answers. Questions about salary can be tricky to answer, and, in some locations, employers aren't allowed to ask about your salary history.

Qualifications Questions

The most important thing for interviewers to determine is whether you're qualified for the job. Here's what they will ask to find out. When responding, be specific.

Questions About Your Work History

Is your work history stable, has it prepared you for the job you're interviewing for, and do you have any gaps in your employment history that the company should be concerned about? If not, prepare to answer questions about what you were doing when you weren't in the workforce.

Job Performance Questions

How you performed in previous roles can indicate how you will perform in the job for which you're applying. Be prepared to answer questions about what you did well - and what you didn't.

Note

As with questions about qualifications, be sure to relate your performance to the employer's requirements.

Management and Teamwork Questions

Are you a team player? Do you work well with others? Do you prefer to work in a solitary environment or as part of a team? Your work style, and how you get along with others, including co-workers, managers, and customers or clients is important to all employers. Here are some of the questions employers ask about getting along at work.

The New Job and the Company

What do you know about the company, why do you want the job, and what would you do if you were to be hired, are just some of the questions you'll be asked about the position and employer. Take the time to research the employer prior to the interview, so that you can ask informed questions about the job and company.

Questions About The Future

Are you going to stick around if you're hired is something most employers want to know. All these questions will gauge your interest in making a commitment.

More Interview Questions

These are the top ten most commonly asked interview questions, with examples of the best answers. Also review job-specific interview questions for many different positions to get ideas for framing your own interview responses.

Questions to Ask

The last question you'll most likely be asked is whether you have any questions. Here's how to respond.

You got the interview. Congrats! Now the real fun (and pressure) begins ... don't mess things up!

Here are the nine most common interview mistakes that can cost you the job.

Not doing your research

The most common complaint from hiring managers is that candidates don't do their research about the role and the company. Why? Hiring managers want enthusiastic people who show initiative, and the best way to demonstrate this during an interview is to come prepared.

"If you haven't done any research into the company, and you don't know anything about its products, services, or culture, it's going to become evident during the course of the conversation," says Shawn D'Souza, Workopolis' talent acquisition manager. "This doesn't mean you have to become an expert in everything the company has ever done, but you should have enough information to ask questions and to demonstrate how you might add value. Preparing yourself tells the hiring manager that you're taking the opportunity serious, and that you're truly interested in the role," he says.

Being late

In simplest terms, you shouldn't be late to an interview. Ever.

"It definitely is not the best way to make a first impression," D'Souza says. "It shows a lack of respect for the hiring manager's time, and even a lack of preparation and organization. That said, we do realize that things happen. You can get stuck in traffic or in a subway delay. If something like that happens, do what you can to get in touch with your interviewer. You can salvage a lot and maintain an appearance of professionalism if you warn them that you will be late."

Not dressing appropriately

We recently made some suggestions for what to wear to a job interview, but the importance of your appearance bears repeating: you need to dress the part.

"The key thing is to know the company culture. Do they wear suits to the office or t-shirts? Check out the company's career page and social media profiles for photos of employees and events, and you'll be able to get a sense of their culture and dress code. Either way, though, business casual is a good way to go, as it ensures you'll be presentable and professional looking," D'Souza says.

Not making eye contact

Meeting the interviewer's gaze is essential to making a good impression.

"If you can't look your interviewer in the eye it can seem as if you're lacking in confidence, or even hiding something. I understand that this might be more challenging for people that are shy, but it's important to make that connection," D'Souza says.

Talking in clichés

"I'm a team player."

"I work too hard."

"I'm a perfectionist."

Sound familiar? If you're using these to answer questions like "Tell me about yourself" and "What's your greatest weakness?" it's time you put them out to pasture.

"Both sides can sometimes be guilty of using clichés, but just because you're asked a question like this, it doesn't mean you have to answer with something obvious and played out. Instead, I think you should look at it as an opportunity to differentiate yourself. Say something real that they haven't heard before and they will be more likely to remember you," D'Souza says.

Trash talking your previous employer

Don't say negative things about people or companies - no matter how much you feel they deserve it. It makes you look childish and petty, and people don't want to hire people who are childish and petty.

"If you're leaving a company because of an issue you had, you can say so, but be diplomatic and professional about it, and more importantly, try to frame it in a way that relates to your career goals and ambition," D'Souza says.

Not asking questions

At some point the interviewer is going to ask "Do you have any questions for me?" and you should not say "no."

"Obviously, a lot of this depends on what has been covered already in the interview, but typically, you should have questions prepared or questions about something that was discussed. It speaks to your professionalism and ambition and lets hiring managers know that you are a serious candidate," D'Souza says.

Playing with your phone

A recent study found that a full third of millennials think it's acceptable to text during the job interview.

"I spend a lot of time on my phone as well, so I understand the struggle, but you have to put it away for the interview. It's highly disrespectful to be checking your phone, and it really does not say much for your ability to focus on the task at hand," D'Souza says.

Lying

Fifty-eight percent of employers have caught a candidate in a resume lie, while 31% of people admit to having lied on a resume. That's a lot of lying. And, if you lie on a resume, you have to keep the lie up during the interview. Don't do this.

"It's not worth it. If you get caught - and there's a good chance you will, as many employers will conduct background checks - you not only won't get the job, you'll have wasted everyone's time, and burned a bridge for the future," D'Souza says.

There you have it; nine interview mistakes that can cost you the job. Good luck!

If you think you nailed that interview or the recruiter said, "Keep in touch," don't just sit and wait for the phone to ring with a job offer. Instead, be proactive. There are things you should do after a job interview that can increase the odds of getting a second interview or landing a job offer.

Do an Interview Assessment

Immediately after completing an interview, write up a summary of the questions you were asked along with your answers. This will preserve a record of your responses for future reference if you secure a follow-up interview.

Also, note anything you wish you had said to your interviewer but didn't get the opportunity to tell them. That way, if you get a second interview, you can make a note to mention these items.

A thorough interview assessment will also provide you with details to address in your follow-up communications. In addition, you'll be able to identify any problem areas in your presentation, so you can improve them and be even more prepared for future interviews.

Get Contact Information and Next Steps

At the conclusion of the interview, ask about the process moving forward. Will the interviewer be contacting candidates in a week for a second interview? Making a decision in 10 days? Do they notify everyone who applied or just the successful candidates?

Knowing what to expect will help determine when to follow up and can reduce any anxiety you might feel about the whole interview and hiring process.

Keep track of everyone you talked to during this process. If you were interviewed by multiple people, record any useful information or particular concerns raised by each person. Make a note of the interviewers' names and contact information, or later ask the person who coordinated the interview for those details.

Getting the names of everyone involved in your interview is crucial because you'll want to follow up with a thank you for the interview note. A well-written thank you note helps make a great impression on your potential employers.

Follow Up With the Hiring Manager

Decisions about candidates are often made quickly, so it's important to send your follow-up email immediately, the same day if possible. You want your interviewers to remember you and these follow-ups can make a good impression.

The follow-up email doesn't have to be long. Keep it succinct, thank the interviewer for taking the time to speak with you, and mention these elements in your communication:

An assertion that you believe the position is an excellent fit and you would welcome the opportunity to join their organization. Include a brief summary of one or two sentences indicating why the position is an excellent match given your assets and interests.

Supply any additional information that will address areas of concern you were unable to fully address during the interview. For example, you might want to include a work sample demonstrating your competence in a key area of employer concern.

Express your appreciation for the opportunity to meet, and if possible, compose slightly different personalized emails for each person rather than just copy/pasting the whole letter. Note something helpful that was shared with you by each individual. This is a nice touch-you definitely want to leave a good impression on all parties involved and be memorable.

In addition, consider forwarding a separate communication expressing your gratitude to any helpful support staff people you met. Those staffers have more influence than you might think when it comes to hiring decisions. You want as many people on your side as possible.

Connect With Your Interviewer Online

It's a good idea to think beyond the current position for which you've just interviewed because you're potentially creating a long-term relationship with this interviewer, even if you don't secure the immediate job opening.

Review your post-interview notes and connect with your interviewer through LinkedIn by finding an opening for a connection based on a discussion that arose during your interview. Perhaps you mentioned a newspaper article relevant to their business that you'd like to forward, for instance.

These connections are important because if you don't get the current position, something might pop up later and the interviewer might think of you.

Notify Your References

Having suitable references is essential for your job search and you don't want them to feel like they're being cold-called by your potential employer. So, if you haven't already, alert your references they might receive a call or email and summarize your case for the job. Add in any points you want them to stress in their recommendation.

In addition, If any of your strongest supporters have a contact within your prospective company, consider exploring their willingness to make an unsolicited endorsement on your behalf. People usually like to be helpful, but don't forget to show appreciation for their endorsement with a follow-up thank you letter or email. In fact, sending a thank you note to all your references may be a good idea.

Interview Thank-You Email: Right vs. Wrong Examples

Subject Line: Thank You Amanda!

Hello Amanda,

Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me and talk about the position of the Senior Digital Marketing Specialist with ABC Inc. yesterday. It was a pleasure to learn more about your approach to growing organic traffic.

Our conversation made me even more excited to join ABC. What interested me in particular was how sharply your efforts are focused on the actual reader experience, not just technical SEO issues.

I was thinking about what you said regarding your plans to expand the email subscribers base by offering free bonus content downloads in the upcoming quarter. In my current role as Content Marketing Specialist with XYZ I found that using contextual click-triggers for bonus downloads within blog posts increased the subscription rate by 35% compared to regular pop-ups. I hope that helps!

I'm sure my experience can translate into similar success as your new Senior Digital Marketing Specialist.

If you need any additional information from me at this point, please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to hearing back from you next Friday, as discussed.

Thanks again for your time!

Sincerely,

Jane Redlock

Subject line: Great interview, thank you!

Dear Hiring Manager,

I enjoyed meeting you in person after all these emails we've exchanged. It was a pleasure to be interviewed yesterday.

I already said how excited I was to join your team. I've achieved so much in my current position (as you've seen on my resume) and I know I will be a great asset to your company.

Please, let me know as soon as you know anything about the further steps of the recruitment process. I hope to meet you again and become one of your team members soon! So excited!

Best,

Joe Fallange

The difference is clear, isn't it?

Now, let's examine the anatomy of the best thank you email after an interview so that you can write yours in no time!

How to Write a Thank You Email after an Interview

Before we jump right into the post-interview thank-you email writing formula-
You to realize how crucial this part of your job search is.

According to a recent study, 1 in 5 recruiters and hiring managers will automatically dismiss a candidate if they haven't sent an interview thank you email.

What's more, this survey revealed 80% HR managers consider thank you emails helpful for reaching the final hiring decision.And yet-

Another report by Careerbuilder shows that 57% of job seekers don't send thank you notes after an interview.

Sending any thank you email after a job interview puts you ahead of over half of the competition.

A great, personalized interview thank you email? That's what will make you the frontrunner.
Here's how to write a perfect thank you email after an interview in 7 easy steps:
The bottom line: yes, you always need to send a "thank you for an interview" email.

1. Create a clear subject line
Sample subject lines for a thank you email:

Thank you, [Interviewer's Name]!

Thank you for your time and advice

Thanks for the interview yesterday

I enjoyed learning more about [Company Name]

No puns, no jokes, go straight to the point. It's the only way to make sure your thank you email gets opened.

Simple as that!

Address the hiring manager directly, by name.

If you've interviewed with more than one person, send personalized thank-you notes to each of them.

2. Open with a personal greeting

Since it's a "thank you email" open with a "thank you!"

Be sincere and authentic when expressing gratitude or appreciation.

Show that you care about the time the interviewers spent with you describing the details of your position.

3. Express your appreciation

(To see what I mean, check out the wrong example above again. See how many personal pronouns the candidate used. It doesn't read like a sincere "thank you," more like " I know I'm awesome.")

During the interview, your future employer wants to make sure you're the right fit for the company. But...

They also want to know you're genuinely eager to join. Make sure to mention that in your thank you email.

If the interview made you realize the job is not right for you, clearly state that in your thank-you email. The hiring manager will appreciate your honesty, plus, you'll help them save time.

4. Restate that you're interested in the job

Identify what's particularly interesting to you about the position and explain why. This way, you'll make your email after an interview feel personalized.

Refer to your skills and experience and show how you're going to use them to help your future employer get what they want.

5. Refer to something specific you discussed during an interview and make an offer
How to end a thank you email after an interview?
6. Say you can provide additional information and remind them about the established response deadline
Should you need any additional information from me that could assist with the decision-making process, feel free to contact me. I look forward to our call next week as discussed.
The golden rule is, be brief and polite. A succinct paragraph such as the one below will do:

Thank them again.

Sign off with a "sincerely" synonym followed by your full name.

Below, put your basic contact details: telephone number and email address.

Optionally, add extra links (e.g. your LinkedIn, Twitter, or a personal website).

7. Close with a professional sign-off
Alright. Enough theory. See our customizable examples of thank you notes after an interview, choose one that fits your situation best, fill in the gaps with details, and hit "Send!" 2

Something along the lines of: "I hope you enjoyed the concert last evening"/"I followed your recommendation to start watching 'Sharp Objects.' I'm super hooked!"]

A good thank you email template for positions at small companies with relaxed culture.

The above sample will also work great for jobs at startups, or creative and artistic roles.

When, to Whom, and in What Form to Send a Thank You Note after an Interview: The Logistics

So, you've just written a stunning post-interview thank-you note.

What should you do with it now? When to send it? To whom to address it? Is a thank you email always okay or do you need a handwritten note?

It's a lot to remember, but don't worry-

When to send thank you email after interview?

It's best to send a thank you letter while you're still fresh in the interviewer's mind. So you should send the email message within 24 hours of the interview (the same day as the interview or the next). If the interview takes place on Friday, send a thank-you email on Friday afternoon or on Monday morning. Don't send formal emails over the weekend.

Send a thank you email after every interview to everyone that was in the room with you.

Each of those thank you notes has to be at least slightly different and personalized because they will share them with one another.

The exception is a panel interview, especially if many of the participants joined via phone or Skype: in this situation, send one thank you email after an interview addressed to everyone.

What about sending a thank you email after an interview to multiple interviewers?

Don't have everyone's email addresses?

Send one email to the person whose address you have and either ask them to forward your thank-you email to other interviewers, or ask for the email addresses of the other recruiters and email them directly.

Pro Tip: If you interview with multiple people, ask for business cards during the interview, so you don't have to search or ask for emails later.
An interview thank you email will be your safest choice.

The only exceptions where it's a good idea to send your thank-you letter via snail mail are:

Jobs in extremely traditional industries such as wedding planning or stiff, suit-and-tie law firms.
