Assignment Two Behavioral and Situational Interview Questions Spring 2016
(No Credit for call in sick question)
|
1. On page 360 (page 349 if you have the older edition of the book), your textbook discusses behavioral and situational interviews. As a part of career preparation, students often look over lists of common questions to prepare.
For this assignment, I want you to answer 5 behavioral and 5 situational interview questions. You can get the questions from one of the three following websites:
http://ww2.cs.fsu.edu/~shilding/interview.htm
http://www.quintcareers.com/interview_question_database/situational_interview_questions.html
Not all the questions listed are behavioral or situational, some are just ice-breaker type questions or questions about your skill set. Part of this assignment is being able to determine which questions fall into the situational and behavioral categories. Your textbook explains both of these terms. DO NOT turn in the answers from the website. Use their questions but develop your own answers. These lists were provided to give you a suggested direction for common interview questions.
Clearly identify which questions are behavior and which are situational.

2. As a job candidate, you are also expected to ask questions. The following two websites have good lists of questions to ask. Pick five from these lists that you think are useful questions and briefly explain why you have selected them.

You may find the STAR approach useful when answering behavioral questions. This link will take you to an article that goes into detail about the STAR approach:
