How to nail behaviorals?
Just as the title states, is there any template you guys use for behavioral questions? Do you completely bullshit your way through these? Do you run a Monte Carlo simulation the day before and prepare for every single possible question ?How do you prepare for these? I’m very technically sound, but if anything stumps me on interviews/hirevues, it’s the bs tell me about a time when type questions. I’d love some help as I’m interviewing for for FT.
Advice I was given before I started interviewing for SA: interviewers are looking for people to work with. Really you just have to satisfy two conditions — don’t be an idiot and don’t be an asshole. No need to go over the top to show how totally awesome and relatable you are.
Hahah love this. I'll take heed to this advice. I guess going a little bit further, do you completely bs answers or do you really have that many experiences to draw from? I'm pretty involved on campus and have internships under my belt. I just have trouble coming up with something super specific without lying.
Honestly a lot of the questions I got were super general workplace type questions. “Talk about a time you worked on a team” type of stuff. My SA interviews I didn’t have any IB experience and worked odd jobs my underclassmen years, so I just drew on those experiences to showcase that I can be professional and a good worker. I think if you can show that you learn fast, work hard, and are easy to get along with then you’ll be fine.
