Ever since Amazon made their STAR model popular, I’ve seen an uptick in these kind of behavioural interview questions in job interviews. It’s a good idea to prepare for them because it can be challenging to come up with interesting answers during a stressful interview.
- Tell me about a time when you had to leave a task unfinished.
- Give me two examples of when you did more than what was required in any job experience.
- Tell me about a time when you took a calculated risk.
- Tell me about your proudest professional achievement.
- Tell me about a time when you had to work with incomplete data or information.
- Tell me about a time when you influenced a change by only asking questions.
- Tell me about a time when you invented something.
- Tell me about a time when you solved a problem through just superior knowledge or observation.
- Give me two examples of when you did more than what was required in any job experience.
- Tell me about a time you had to deal with ambiguity.
- Tell me about a time you had to handle a crisis.
- Tell me about a time when you had to make a quick decision that was going to have a significant impact on the business.
- Tell me about a time when you had a group conflict, and how did you overcome this conflict?
- Tell me about a situation where you directly impacted customer satisfaction.
