- You didn’t have an answer to a question, and asked for another question You didn’t prepare the failure stories; Up to five proper failures for senior roles You knew the answers to many of the questions by heart, but got some new ones on which you blocked You repeated the same story twice or more; They take notes which they later confront You prepare the answers on paper, but did not role-play enough so your performance was so-so You thought your answers were great, but couldn’t really understand why they were asking you those questions in the first place; e.g. The leadership principles You gave poor answers: one or more hypothetical answers, impossible to quantify, Too short, Too long, You forgot the results, Maybe they were boring, Excel vs narrative, You praised them too much,Stubbornness You blocked when you got asked some tough questions from the bar raiser You were negative You lacked energy / curiosity / engagement
My notes:
failure stories -
Never memorize the stories - same stories over and over again. You do not have diversified experience on the job.
Great answer for any question on behavior.
Written answer/ Speak to yourself / speak to coach / written answer/ other things/
Why they ask you those questions in the first place?
Prepare for those type questions - tailor those questions.
Give poor answers - hypothetical - too long or too short or stubborn - do not listen very well.
Good or great answer
More Excel like answer - or narrative

STAR vs. CARL: What's the best behavioral interview method? In this video I compare the popular STAR answer method with the more comprehensive CARL answer format, share sample behavioral interview questions and answers, and end with a recommendation on when to use each method. The STAR behavioral interview method suffers from 2 limitations: (1) It allocates too much time for background information and not enough on your accomplishments, and (2) Doesn’t naturally incorporate your learnings as part of the answer prompts. Therefore, many interviewers find the STAR technique of interviewing a little bit robotic as candidates just seem to memorize answers and spit them out during the interview. With the CARL interview method, the “L” stands for “Learning” so you should really allocate more time on reflecting what your actions and results meant for future use cases (i.e. what if you faced a similar situation again, what would you do next time?) This is where the CARL interview framework really shines.

In this video I share how to answer behavioral interview questions and provide sample answers using the STAR format. Furthermore, I show you how to tweak the strong but overused STAR format and to help your answers stand out! Answering behavioral interview questions shouldn’t be hard or daunting; you should be able to prepare truthful and memorable answers to behavioral interview questions in order to leave a strong impression. Here you will learn a simple three step process from finding real behavioral interview question examples to answering them in a natural and confident manner.

VIDEO CONTENT Step #1: Find common behavioral questions for the company you’re interviewing with So I’m honestly surprised this is not more of a thing. Have you ever cheated on a test by taking a look at the questions beforehand? Well Glassdoor is like doing that, but for interviews. If you know what you’re looking for and what filters to use, Glassdoor can be a goldmine of information for interview candidates. What is a behavioral interview? Behavioral interview questions usually start with "Tell me about a time when..." or "Name a time that...". And the purpose of Glassdoor is to find as many behavioral questions as possible, and these questions are more universal regardless of the specific role. Behavioral questions asked for a product specialist may very well be the same questions asked for an account manager. Step #2: Prepare for behavioral interviews by using 1 story to answer different behavioral questions Here’s my hack: First, structure one of your experiences using the STAR method Then, decide which behavioral questions this experience can potentially answer and “match” them together Pick one part of the experience to highlight that would fit the question best. Let’s dive into an example I used when I was first interviewed with Google Situation - Developed an onboarding program for external client Task - Decided to create a similar onboarding program internally for new joiners Action - Had to convince other consultants to give up their time to be trainers Result - A standardized onboarding program twice a year, cut down on training and ramp up time So, how can I leverage this one experience to answer multiple behavioral questions truthfully? Let’s jump back to the 10 behavioral questions we found and see which ones match up best. Tell me about a time you showed leadership Tell me about a time when you pushed through opposition Tell me about a time you influenced other stakeholders Step #3: Do not actually use the words “Situation, Task, Action, Result” in your answer This is a simple but important one. You might have noticed the STAR format is pretty mechanical. It’s a great structure, but you’re not going to be able to differentiate yourself from everyone else who is also using the same format Instead of saying “situation”, say one of the following - Ah that reminds me of the time when | Project X is a good example of this | So during my time at… Instead of saying “task” - I was responsible for | The objective of the project was | We were trying to achieve… Instead of saying “action” - I first did X, then Y, and finally Z Instead of saying “result” - I was able to achieve | The feedback we received was | In the end

When done INCORRECTLY, informational interviews actually harms your chances of landing a job at your target company. In this video, I share 5 informational interview mistakes you must avoid at all costs, walk you through the exact wording I would use to come off as composed and confident, and give you a free networking template I made on Google Sheets. Other than preparing strong informational interview questions for your coffee chats, you want to clarify the time and topic in your initial request for an exploratory interview email. So when they receive your request, they're able to prepare ahead of time as well. After the informational interview, not only do you want to send a thank you note, you also want to make sure you follow up regularly with 3 professionals that are working in fields you are extremely interested in. Most people do not do this (it's a very common mistake) and yet this is a huge mistake you want to avoid. So the next time you conduct an informational interview (or coffee chat), make sure you brush up on the etiquette mentioned in this video and review the dos and don'ts! TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 01:03 Not Clarifying Time and Topic 02:36 Putting up with Lengthy Answers 03:48 Not Taking Notes 04:57 Not Following Up Regularly 07:17 Having a Weak Ending 08:01 Strong Questions to Ask

In this video I'll be sharing 3 practical tips for interview preparation with Google! Answering "Tell me about yourself" is important yes, but you can fully leverage your answer to influence what questions the interviewer asks next. This way, you have strong "pre-prepared" answers to those questions as well! Case interview questions are an integral part of interviews (not just with Google) nowadays. And having a strong synthesis can save an otherwise weak answer. Doing research is obviously key before any interview. But what are some specific strategies or tools you can use? TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:13 How to influence the interviewer 02:46 How to structure a strong synthesis for case interview questions 05:19 How to do your research and "cheat"
VIDEO CONTENT Tip number 1: Nail the “Tell me about yourself question” This standard opener is designed to ease both of you into the interview. Your answer will set the tone for the rest of the conversation yes. More importantly, it gives you an opportunity to influence what the interviewer might ask next You do this by simply focusing on 1 memorable highlight for each experience you bring up. Let’s take me for example. I’m in marketing now, I was in sales before, and in management consulting before that. So my answer might sound something like “I’m currently a Product Marketer at Google. A recent project I worked on is called Start on Android, and that drove 200% YoY revenue. When I was an Account Manager in the sales team, I created videos on how to optimize Google Ads accounts to better engage my clients. The quality was horrendous but it got the job done. Before that when I was in consulting, one of the toughest projects I worked on required me to travel for 6 months straight. However, the client was extremely pleased with the outcome and we successfully pitched a follow up engagement In this oversimplified example, you might remember the key highlights I mentioned. The 200% YoY growth, creating crappy but effective YouTube videos. Traveling for 6 months straight but having it pay off. So with all these highlights, the interviewer is very likely to follow up with additional questions. “What was your role in SOA?” Other than viewership what did you measure? Therefore, a rule of thumb is to always start with your current, most relevant experience, and move backwards. If you’re a young working professional, mention highlights from the last 2-3 roles you’ve worked in If you’re still in college, the most recent internships, part time jobs, leadership experiences you’re involved in Tip number 2: Have a strong synthesis for case interview questions Google, like 90% of tech firms, incorporate some version of the case interview question in their application process. If you’re not familiar with case interview questions, I highly recommend you read Victor Cheng’s Case Interview Secrets. The main takeaway I got from the book that is applicable to all case interview questions that having strong synthesis is crucial to performing well. A synthesis is basically a summary. You take the separate pieces of information you’ve uncovered throughout the case interview into a coherent conclusion. Tip number 3: Do your research and “Cheat” There are so many interview reviews on glassdoor for tech companies that chances are, you will see many real questions that have been recently asked to other interviewees. Yes the questions may not be the most updated, they may not all be accurate. But this should give you a good place to start

Show the interviewer that you are a good fit for the position. The “Why are you a good fit for this role” interview question has many variations such as “Why should we hire you?” and “Why are you a good candidate?” But they’re all really just trying to figure out (1) What experiences or skills you have that would be applicable for the new position, (2) What you are trying to get out of it, and (3) What special characteristic you have that others do not. If you are able to provide strong examples and communicate your unique proposition clearly, the interviewers will make their own mental connections between your background and the open role, and start convincing themselves that they indeed should hire you since your experiences clearly make you a good fit (or even the best fit) for this position. Other than giving sample answers to this “why are you a good fit” interview question, I also point out the little things to get right, such as limiting your answer length to 2-2.5 minutes maximum (similar to the “tell me about yourself” question). So whether you are a fresher / fresh grad looking for a sample answer, or an experienced professional looking for an answer structure, this video is a great resource. You will learn how to apply the concepts here and also avoid common mistakes others make when showing the interviewer why they should hire you.
