Prepping for Behaviorals
Hi just wanted to make this thread to get advice from the more experienced monkeys in London IB. I just started prepping for recruiting (second year at Target UG) and was wondering how you best prep for commercial awareness questions (like reading FT, etc.). Also, I would love for ppl to drop some examples of behavioral, especially competency, questions, or if there is a bank of Qs that a lot of ppl use, that would be great. I feel like these are always tougher than techs, and have no idea what HR is looking for in candidates (but who does, really). Thanks!
The art of behavioural is speaking concisely, and punchy. Don’t talk too much and learn when to appreciate silence.
Thanks for the advice. Is there a specific way you would approach "Tell me about a time when you took a leadership role in a group" type of q. Whenever I practice these, I feel like I am always rambling and going all over the place.
use the STAR method, start with describing the Situation, then the Task you had to complete, then the Action you took and finish with the Result
How long are these responses typically? Obviously somewhat concise and easy to understand, but I would think that this would easily take over a minute.
tell me about yourself is most important, some others i got in superdays were: tell me abt a time you were under a lot of stress, tell me about a time someone in a group was not pulling their weight, if you discovered your friend cheated on an exam what would you do, why this bank/group/city
