How long should your behavioral answers all be
Was wondering if it's best to keep behavioral answers like the 3 strengths question, the greatest failure, and teamwork stories. I've been told to keep under 45 secs but found that it's difficult to get an anecdote in without going over a minute. Is it best for the 3 strengths question to be longer?
Just read the room. if interviewer seems bored or like he’s getting impatient, then hurry up. if he seems to like your story then keep going. it really depends from person to person
Absolutely. After a while of practicing you’ll know your way around your answers fast enough to adapt them on the fly. It’s very obvious if the interviewer is engaged or bored. Odds are, if they’re asking the cookie cutter questions that HR prepared for their interview sheet they think it’s just as BS as you do
It must be exactly 48 seconds. Any more or less will result in an auto ding.
I always did 3-5 sentences. You should be able to hit your key points and they'll ask more if required.
