Behavioural Interview

A behavioural interview is a type of job interview where the interviewer asks questions about past behaviours and experiences to assess how an interviewee may perform in future situations. The idea behind the behavioural interview is that past behaviour is a strong predictor of future behaviour. The interviewer will typically ask questions that start with phrases like, 'tell me about a time when...' or 'describe a situation where...' to prompt the interviewee to share specific examples of their behaviour in previous jobs or other situations. The interviewer will then evaluate the interviewee's responses to determine if they have the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for the job.
