Behavioral or Competency Questions:
The above questions are all part of the traditional interview. Recently a type of interview has evolved known as the behavioral screening interview or competency interview. At this type of interview the interviewer will ask questions directed toward actual past experiences in relation to a situation. One such question might be: " give me an example of a time when you needed to adjust quickly. What did you do and how did it turn out?"
Some examples of characteristics you might want to question about are: teamwork, ability to deal with stress, initiative, tenacity, attention to detail, follow-through, customer service orientation, technical skills, and communication skills.
What do you consider to be your greatest professional accomplishments and strengths?
