Well Kept Secrets Behind Planned Behavioral Questions For Job Interview Unveiled

Secrets Behind Planned Behavioral Questions

Well, as promised, I'm going to share with you now the secrets the interviewers want to uncover by asking you all those planned behavioral questions or key background review questions. I won't bore you with the details though. Just one advice for you to stick by... make sure you include 'these words' when giving out your STAR (you should be familiar with all these jargon by now. Go back if you do not understand. Significant! Don't go past a word you do not understand. Please...). I explained to them under each key areas, beginning with...

• Working relationship

Use these words in your STAR: collaboration, clarify the situation, develop strategic ideas, achieve goals, facilitate, negotiate, principles, mission, vision, measure, quality, communicate.

• Focus on customers

Use these: seek to understand, fulfill needs, educate, consultative, collaborate, build a long-term relationship, gain feedback, address the concern, communicate

• General management

These words should be used: priority, well prepared, fully equipped, list, schedule, time frame, dateline, leverage resources, focus, hierarchy, workflow, strategy, calculated risk, planned, measure, manage, communicate.

• Job Fit

Include these words: involved, aspire, inspire, motivate, lead, follow, rules, value, mission, vision, compensation, total package, communication, recognition, self-actualization, coaching, opportunities, communicate.

How you use these words to answer the planned behavioral question?

Don't try to use every single word at once. Use 3 to 4 words sparingly. For example, you were asked the question about let say, time management. Suppose you have two crucial tasks, A and B, with the same dateline... how do you handle them? Let's turn that into a dialogue and imagine you're the interviewee...

Interviewer: "Supposed you have two important tasks with the same dateline... tell us... how would you handle them?"

You: "Well, I'll tell you a situation I've faced during my tenure at Comp A. We have two physician talks on two different products that I handle and both Product Managers want the invitation settled within a week. Both products were important to me. Both have high weight for my incentive calculation... I mean, it's that important. So, since both products aimed for a different target group, I worked out a workflow and planned my priorities. I switch my daily calls between those two groups according to time and area and send out the invitation. Within a week, I manage to invite ninety-five percents of all my targeted list and the customers turn up for both events were at a record-breaking level. Everybody was pleased."

That's just an example. I trust you can come up with a better one. Only pay attention to the bold and italic words... that's what I mean by using selected words in your STAR. You will be regarded as knowledgeable and not only that, they won't take you for granted. You've projected them your image as someone serious about your trade.

Well, guys and girls... I think this chapter on interview... what you can do before, during, and after has come to its end. Maybe I just add up a few pointers, just to make sure I cover enough ground to get you started. Otherwise, if you have any thought, feel free to type in.
I look forward to that.
