Intro to behavioural interviews


Notes

1. culture

2. behavior interview

Do not wrap your weakness with some sugar coated ?

Satisfied - Not good - Good answer - Do not bullshit the question

Talk me one of your flaws:
Strength wrapped up - so hard work - concrete example to work too hard and hurt team etc.

Biggest success in previous work - what did not go well?
Be self-critical
Chance to catch him/ her out - throw the teammates under the bus

Be genuine -

The part about the sum your history 


understand your work history -

Stay at the same company 6 or 7 year, the smart interviewer will try to figure out that "is this person growing or top-out?"

CV contains factual things you have done

specific contributions you make - technical something
project tech lead, algorithm put-together
How good technical depth?
Get some signal - does that add up?

the part about why "we" are bad 


It is you to get a job, not get a job for your team.

Reveal you as a person - interview a person with a manager of 20 people and spent 90% of time to coding - not make sense

the part about money - behavior interview 


the part about communication ability 

assess your communication ability 


communication -

The part about collaboration 


Is this person all right? Is this person a successful collaborator?

Is this person hard to hire?

Talk about the time you and your team disagree something.

Healthy collaborator will move on, or it is critical thing and work on more. Build hatred towards team, their opinion ...


The part of passion ( in depth)

world record of something - you must have a great passion about something.

signal people may look for - make it success for the company



Advices 


Be genuine - strongest advice 

Think critically about your own career, your intention to work for the company, self-awareness, why you want to be in this company? 

Own your strength and weakness - what you earn, what you fail, share them with interviewer. It will increase your chance to have the job. Fail public and successfully. 

The part to ask about tough questions 

Write your questions down.
