Many times the person doing the interview will ask you behavioral questions to see how you react to different situations. All the interviewer is looking for in your answer is a brief description of a specific problem or situation, how you would plan to solve the situation, and what the results might be. Most times you can recognize a behavioral question by the way it is asked. For example: “Give me an example of...,…” or “Think of a situation where...…” Example behavioral questions:

1. Tell me about a time when you had to make a difficult decision. How did you decide on making the decision you did.
