INTERVIEW PRACTICE
Performance/Behavioral based interviewing questions requires you to articulate past behaviors, successes and challenges of former experiences, providing specific examples as indicators of future success. We always suggest role playing before an interview. Interviewing is an art and practice makes perfect. Role playing makes you sound confident and professional when asked a question during an interview because you already know your answer. Below are some performance/behavioral based questions to guide your interviewing preparation.
PRACTICE QUESTIONS
POST INTERVIEW
It is not only important what you say during an interview but also how you present yourself and communicate. After the interview, ask yourself these questions:
-
Did you make a positive impact when you entered the room?
-
Were you enthusiastic about the organization? Did you do enough research on the company? Did you ask good questions about the position and the company?
-
Did you maintain good body language and eye contact?
-
Did you clearly and professionally articulate your answers?
-
Did you follow up after the interview? Did you send a note or email asking about the next step?
-
Did you close you the interviewee?
-
Did you ask if it would be worth putting together a business plan (30, 60, 90 days-short term/1 year, 2 year, and 3 year-long term), or providing proof of success; portfolio, stack rankings, awards or W-2’s.
