How to answer Behavioral Interview questions
I’m never sure what is the best way to answer behavioral interview questions.
I know, I know, there’s no “right” answer. But, clearly the fact that they get asked at all indicates that there are favorable and unfavorable answers.
Recently I read that in politics, politicians are taught that if you get asked a question that you don’t want to answer, then answer the question that you wish you had been asked instead.
This seems to work in politics, do people think that it is a good tactic to answer behavioral interview questions?
To make king concrete let’s try it out.
Question: what is your biggest weakness.
You wish you were asked: what are your biggest strengths.
Answer: I feel that my biggest strengths are blah…blah…blah… And of course the areas that are outside of my strengths I will work hard on improvng.
What do people think of this answer?
