it so what is the best way the easiest way for you to answer behavioral interview questions so behavioral interview questions are questions where they say give me an example of when you worked as part of a team give me an example of when you worked hard under pressure etc and the best way to answer these is to use the star technique so just think of a star and then answer it in that manner so what does star actually mean well you construct your answer to each of the behavioral interview questions in this manner you start off and you explain what the situation was that you were in so you say well the situation I was in I was working in a particular role and I was dealing with a customer who was making a complaint and then you move on in you tell the interview panel the tasks that needed to be done so you would then say and the customer was complaining and I decided that I need to needed to resolve the complaint for them satisfactorily in accordance with company guidelines you would then explain the action you took so you would say I asked the customer to tell me the issue and the exact complaint that they had I listened to them I took notes and then I come up with a solution to the problem and then you tell the interview kind of the result so you explain to him the results of me solving the complaint was the customer was really happy and they walked away and they promised to use the company again so that's just a very brief explanation of how you would use a star technique to construct your answer I'm going to give you four specific answers to tough behavioural questions in a second so the important thing to remember when responding to behavioral interview questions is to make sure your answers are specific don't say what you would do in a certain situation but say what you've already done previously so let's start taking a look at some of these questions and I'll tell you at some stage during the video where you can download a copy of these plus another 16 behavioral interview questions and answers tell me about a time when you went above and beyond what was required at work this is becoming a real common behavioral interview question and because a lot of employers his two tips for answering this all employees that they want to hire someone who will go the extra mile for them so you can stand out from the competition at the interview by demonstrating you have a positive attitude to your work and also by showing that you have a willingness to do more than the average employee so a lot of employers want to get more out of their staff and if you're willing to do more go above and beyond then that is a positive thing and it's an easy way to shine at the interview the second tip make sure you tell the interview panel you are someone who will gladly help out when required and then provide a specific example of when you've done this in a previous role so let's take a look at my suggested answer to this question tell me about a time when you went above and beyond what was required at work and I'm gonna utilize the star technique so here we go in my previous job my manager was looking for volunteers to work extra hours over a four-week period because we needed to get a particular project completed really quickly the project involved intense work collecting data from our website statistics which would then be used by our marketing department to improve overall customer experience and sales conversions I volunteered to help out as a new was important to assist the business in achieving the goals now over the four-week period I worked an additional hour each day which in total added up to 20 hours extra work specifically dedicated to the project and at the end of the four-week period the project was completed satisfactorily and the results were very positive for my employer so the important thing there is that you volunteered to help out and then you did an extra hour a day for a four-week period if you said that to me during an interview I would be impressed and I would think hey I am interested in hiring this person because they're willing to do more than what the average employee would do okay so let's have a look at another question tell me about a time you responded to feedback from someone else so tell me about a time when you responded to feedback from someone else two tips to answering this question now some people don't respond positively to feedback from other people they don't like it now whilst it's important to have confidence in your own abilities you are not going to continually continually improve or develop unless you're open to constructive feedback from those people who are willing to give it now demonstrate in your answer you have a desire to continually grow develop and improve in your work and if you do that you will be attractive to any potential employer because we want people who come into jobs and they are they're happy to grow and develop professionally and personally undertake training courses and also listen to feedback so if your line manager or supervisor said look I think you could do this a different way then even better but more importantly if you actually seek the feedback yourself that's a better way to gain a higher score during this interview question so let me give you my suggested answer to the question tell me about a time you responded to feedback from someone else I'd been working on a task within the office for a few days and whilst I was making steady progress I felt the way I was approaching the job could be improved so I decided to speak to a more senior member of the company to ask her if she had any tips on how to approach the task differently after reviewing what I was doing she made a couple of suggestions for improvement which I gladly took on board now after using the new approach to working on the task my productivity increased significantly and I completed a task well ahead of schedule and also to a much better standard then if I'd have carried on utilizing my old approach I am someone who will take on board feedback as I see continuous improvement there's an important part of being a productive employee that's a rock-solid answer to that question but more importantly you were the one who sought to the feedback that's better okay that is better let's have a look at another question when have you worked on multiple projects and how did you prioritize them so when have you worked on multiple projects and how did you prioritize them so two tips being able to manage and handle lots of projects and work all at once is an attractive quality to potential employees make sure you provide a detailed explanation as to how you're able to easily manage your workload and prioritize the tasks so here's a good answer to this question I used to work in a small team of four people and during one particular month two team members went off sick which left only two of us to manage the entire office workload and projects I looked at this situation as an opportunity to develop my multitasking skills and so I took on two specific projects one of the team members had been working on in addition to my own workload to prioritize the tasks I drew up a list of work and tasks that needed to be done and by which time and date and then placed a priority order number next to each task from one to five now five being the lowest priority tasks and one being the highest priority and then started working through each task in order of priority making sure I worked strictly to the deadlines required where needed I would stay behind after normal hours to ensure the completion dates will not missed I feel I am a competent multitasker and can be relied upon to take on lots of projects and tasks whilst ensuring they are all completed to the standards needed so another solid specific response to that tough behavioral question now I'm going to give you one more sample which so please stick around and listen to it and but there is a button appearing right now in the top right hand corner of the screen if you'd like to download twenty behavioral interview questions and answers then click that and it will take you through to my website and I've created download document which is only like $7.99 seven pounds 99 to download you get all of the that the answers to all of the questions that I feel will come up during your interview let's take a look at another one give an example of a goal you didn't achieve and how you handled it so give an example of a goal you did not achieve and how you handled it two tips some people believe the best answer to this difficult behavioral question is to say you've never failed to meet your goals this is not the way to answer it because we will all set goals and some of them we won't achieve them but the purpose of this question is to assess how you handle failure and how you view it so always treat failure as an opportunity to improve and develop you should analyze your work performance with a view to improving for the next time you work on a specific task a project or a goal so here's a really good answer to this question in a previous role I had been working hard to gain an internal promotion now to meet the demands of the new role I spent time studying relevant training courses and also shadowed my line manager for four weeks to find out what it takes to perform the role to the standards needed on the day of my promotion interview I felt I had performed really good and I answered all of the questions required now unfortunately after the interview my senior manager informed me I was not successful the feedback I received was based on the fact they felt I needed more time in my current role and there were a number of skills I still needed to develop now although I didn't achieve my goal I looked upon the experience as a positive one and I took on board my senior managers comments and worked hard to improve for the next round of promotions twelve months later I had the chance to go for emotion again and this time I was successful so another really good answer so if you want to download
