Behavioral Interview Questions

Behavioral Interview Questions  

Please refer below are very  frequent questions which I have been gathered from my interviews across all of companies/client that I have worked so far, and hope sure it will be helpful for your interviews - Thank you.

Behavioral Interview Questions are those questions which identify the attitude of a candidate towards a company and work performance and are especially helpful in recruiting. We are human and being this great creature we have some limitation. I mean to say that if we don’t know our target, then we cannot make a plan. Also, if we don’t have questions we cannot find answers. Recruiting has become a great science so here are some questions that are widely used around the world to measure the behaviors of people in an interview.

1.     What was the last project you headed up, and what was its outcome?

2.     Give me an example of a time that you felt you went above and beyond the call of duty at work.

3.     Can you describe a time when your work was criticized?

4.     Have you ever been on a team where someone was not pulling their own weight? How did you handle it?

5.     Tell me about a time when you had to give someone difficult feedback. How did you handle it?

6.     What is your greatest failure, and what did you learn from it?

7.     What irritates you about other people, and how do you deal with it?

8.     If I were your supervisor and asked you to do something that you disagreed with, what would you do?

9.     What was the most difficult period in your life, and how did you deal with it?

10.  Give me an example of a time you did something wrong. How did you handle it?

11.  What irritates you about other people, and how do you deal with it?

12.  Tell me about a time where you had to deal with conflict on the job.

13.  If you were at a business lunch and you ordered a rare steak and they brought it to you well done, what would you do?

14.  If you found out your company was doing something against the law, like fraud, what would you do?

15.  What assignment was too difficult for you, and how did you resolve the issue?
