WSO Behavioral Interview Guide


Updated and Revised! This 63-page guide of behavioral interview tips is a compilation of over 100+ of the most common behavioral interview questions and answers you should know before stepping into your first Wall Street interview. Unlike other behavioral interview guides, we give you with detailed advice and specific sample answers. This behavioral interview guide was created to provide prospective financiers a thorough review of how to craft their story and how to answer the most common fit interview questions on Wall Street. This is an electronic pdf so you get everything immediately and can start studying right away (unless you pay with an echeck which can take 3-4 days to verify). This type of finance job interview is different from a traditional interview in that rather than anticipating what you might do in a professional situation in the future, they instead ask you questions about how you handled situations in the past. To learn how to master this type of job interview, check out our guide for tons of helpful behavioral interview tips and advice.

Testimonials:

All I can say is I wish I had the Wall Street Oasis Behavioral Guide before I went into my banking interviews. I was well prepared for some of the fit questions that came my way, but others challenged me. With the extensive number of questions in this guide and the sample answers, I would have felt prepared to handle almost anything.

I have purchased the Technical, Behavioral and Networking guides. All of them are great! I bought the Vault guides for $25 or $30 or whatever, but I think these guides are actually better.

I've owned several interview prep guides, this being my second WSO guide (first was for Technical Interviews), and the products that WSO has produced are by far the best ones I've seen. The Behavioural Guide covers most, if not all, of the questions you'll get in an interview (I recently interviewed with an elite boutique, some of the questions I was asked were almost identical to the ones in the guide). I will tell you up front that you should not expect the "perfect" answer to each and every single fit question you'll be asked, because the guide does not provide them. What it does provide, however, is the FRAMEWORK that you need to formulate your own, genuine, answer -- this is what interviewers are looking for! Overall, I am very satisfied. Combine this with the tech guide, and you'll be set for 90-95% of the questions thrown your way during interviews.

I didn't read Wall Street Oasis Technical and Behavioral Interview guides until after my first year in my MBA program, and frankly they contained everything I had spent the last year learning to get a job on the Street. I highly recommend them to anyone preparing for an interview, finance or other. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than an MBA (not to mention faster and more to the point).

I got the guide the night before my interview, and reviewed all the questions and answers. When these questions came up in the interview, I completely aced them and landed an S&T offer in my sophomore year!

The behavioral guide was just as useful as the technical guide. A lot of people don't focus as much on the behavioral section of interviews, but interviewers really have an idea of what they want to hear in answers. This guide provided great tips on words to mention, stories to tell, and gave an example of a "good" response for almost every question.
