Interviews
There are different types of interview questions you may come across during your time career hunting:
1. Behavioral
2. Technical
3. Brain Teaser (yes, you read that correctly!)
Oftentimes in interviews, the employer will ask you behavioral and technical questions about how you reacted to certain situations in your past experiences. In order to answer these questions as clearly and effectively as possible, utilize the STAR method to communicate the foundation of your story, and then elaborate further on what the situation taught you and how those lessons could potentially relate to the position for which you are applying.
This method can be applied to any kind of question, even brain teasers, as long as it relates back to the job listing (skills, certifications, etc.).
Need someone to interview with? Reach out to a mentor or Team Captain and schedule an appointment!
