Behavioral-based interviewing (BBI) is a popular interview technique used by employers to evaluate a job candidate's past behavior to determine if they are likely to exhibit similar behavior in the future.

BBI is based on the premise that "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior." Therefore, by asking questions about a candidate's past behavior, employers can get a better sense of how the candidate is likely to behave in the future if hired for the job.

Behavioral-based questions are typically open-ended and allow the candidate to provide a detailed response. They are not yes or no questions, and they are not intended to be leading questions.

Some examples of common behavioral-based interview questions include:

Describe a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer or client.

What was the most challenging project you have worked on?

Tell me about a time when you had to go above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done.

Give me an example of a time when you had to use your problem-solving skills to resolve a issue.

These are just a few examples of the types of questions that can be asked in a behavioral-based interview. As you can see, they are designed to get the candidate to share specific examples of their past behavior.

When preparing for a behavioral-based interview, it is important to have a few examples of your past behavior ready to share. Think of a few specific examples that demonstrate the skills and qualities the employer is looking for.

Be prepared to share the details of the situation, what you did, and the outcome. Practice your answers out loud so you can be sure to sound confident and articulate when you are interviewed.

If you are asked a behavioral-based question in an interview, take your time to think of a specific example before you answer. This will help you to give a well-thought-out answer that showcases your skills and abilities.
