To create a little more clarity around how to prepare for Behavioral Interviews, we will break down the different ways to help you prepare for Behavioral Interviews

• Part 1: Preparation

You should start preparing for a Behavioral Interview a few months before you have one so that you can have the most lead time to get comfortable and sound natural in your interviews. You can begin by filling out the Behavioral Interview Worksheet and Elevator Pitch Worksheet.

• Part 2: Practice

Once you have filled out the worksheets with the Interview Examples and Elevator Pitch, the next step is to practice at least 1 hour/week by using the STAR Method to answer questions with a partner (could be your friends, family, advisor, or one of our Career Coaches). You can find a list of questions to practice here (will create a list of practice questions to go with this)

• Part 3: Day of Interview Preparation

The day of the interview you should try to give yourself time to do things that energize you, make sure you eat well and make sure that you have everything ready to go so you can show up to the meeting about 10 minutes before.
