Behavioral questions
When you make it past the coding assessments and behavioral quizzes, you'll often find yourself in a round of interviews that are less technical.
In behavioral interviews, the company will be looking to see what type of person you are and whether or not you'd make a good employee on their team.
- What are your values? Do they align with the company values?
- How well do you collaborate?
- Do you take ownership of projects/outcomes?
- Are you a strong communicator?
Example questions
Here are some common interview questions that you should prepare answers for ahead of time.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Why do you want to work at this company?
- What is your biggest professional strength/weakness?
- Tell me about a time when you disagreed with a coworker.
- Share about a project you lead that you are proud of. What were the results?
- Tell me about a time that you made a mistake? Why? How could you avoid it in the future?
Bonus tips for better answers
- Use 'I' statements. These answers should be about you and should give the interviewer a good idea of how you think and behave in certain situations.
- When sharing about a situation where something went wrong, be sure to share how you corrected the mistake or learned from the experience.
- Do not speak negatively of others, even if they were at fault for a costly mistake.
- If you plan to use data in your stories, be sure to include supporting information. Do not throw out numbers unless you mean them.
