Many household names such as Amazon, Meta / Facebook, Google and Microsoft have been practicing Behavioural Interviewing for ages, and smaller organizations & start-ups are following in their footsteps!

How to prepare using this list of questions?

Pick 1-2 questions from the competencies that match the requirements of the role you are interviewing for. There is no need to find a new example for every single question: you’ll likely notice that one example can cover many situations!

But how do I answer these questions?

To prepare your answers, lay out your examples using the STAR Method, as described here.
