They'll ask you about lengthy projects
you've been involved in — how your role evolved, how you handled
deadlines, how you handled pressures and difficult personalities. You're
going to need ultra-specific examples.
They're going to be asking you for details; including names of people, dates, and measurable outcomes. They'll ask you how certain events made you feel. They're going to be testing you in lots of different ways — Are you ready for their tough questions?

Who the heck do you think you are, Bob? 
M y name is Bob Firestone
and for most of the '80s I was at IBM where I conducted over 500 job
interviews. Today I'm an Instructional Designer focused on understanding
organizations and people's underlying emotions and motivations
in the workplace. I teach actionable business psychology (stuff you can
actually use) that helps people get ahead in their careers and in life.
I've dedicated the last 12 years to continually improving this job interview preparation package that's helped over 27,000 people (read all reviews) from all walks of life.
They connect with me on LinkedIn to tell me it helped them immensely, sometimes in life-changing ways. I'm really proud of this!— and I feel passionate that you will benefit from it too. In fact, I guarantee it.
If you can read and understand this web page, then you can benefit from my training. The secret is the focus on your "behavioral competencies" — which you learn to discuss in a way that exactly matches the job description and gets them nodding their heads thinking "yes" — this is the person we should hire.

100s of positive reviews!
OK, let's get specific: How to "Package & Spin" your work experience.
Each example interview question in the Guide
begins with a discussion of the question, the reasons why they are
asking it, and what they probably want to hear in your response.
FOR EVERY QUESTION you may face, this download
gives you several word-for-word example answers to choose from — and
customize to make your own. You'll have the templates & the
strategic formula for coming up with your own convincing answers — based
on your own personality and your own personal work experience.
- Over 80 behavioral interview questions are covered in the Guide w/
177 example interview answers that work for traditional,
competency-based, situational, KSA, and behavioral interviews.
Interview Question
Give me an example of a problem you faced on the job, and tell me how you solved it.
STRATEGY:
The problem you select to use as an example should be as similar as possible to a problem you are likely to face at your new job. 1) Identify their "pain points" or current challenges you think they might be facing, 2) explain the POSITIVE OUTCOME and MEASURABLE RESULTS you achieved by solving a similar problem at your last job, then 3) get them to agree with you that your experience in that area is exactly what they're looking for.Here's the basic answer formula:
"Sure, at my last job we had a problem where the situation was "X" ... the action I took was "Y" ... and the positive outcome was "Z"
... In an email to the entire team I was praised by Susan, the Project
Manager, for solving the problem and cutting costs about 15% for that
project. We were also able to deliver in about ⅔ the time it would have
taken us otherwise. What I learned from the situation was "ABC." I think that's the type of experience you are looking to bring to your team, isn't it?"
Learn how to cite personal success-metrics (numbers, percentages, fractions) that you contributed to achieving at the past few jobs on your résumé or CV.
These training materials reveal several ways of coming up with measurable proof numbers that are based on your own past work experience & achievements. You'll discover it's as easy as fill-in-the-blanks
to create your proof — and it's SO effective in getting your
interviewers to buy in to your potential & your value as an
employee. You'll have powerful statements like this that you can deliver
with confidence:
"I think my experience with [Company XYZ] in cutting costs 30% / saving 20 man-hours of work per week / increasing revenue by 14% / getting the job done about 50% faster / decreasing turn-around time by ⅓ / helping customers 20% more of the time is the type of experience that will help me succeed in this role ..."
"... Plus my strengths in [industry knowledge /
time management / goal-setting / teamwork / empowering others /
persuasive presentations / partnering & negotiating / innovation
& creativity / strategic leadership / special skill ] really make me
a strong candidate." (Don't be bashful — You've gotta say stuff like this!)
… then get them to agree with you:
"You'd agree that having this type of experience would probably help me succeed in this position … wouldn't you?" 
(say it with a smile)
(say it with a smile)
"Would that type of problem-solving experience be relevant to this job?"
Here's a more fully formed example answer to the above question:
"When facing problems I try to take a systematic approach. I think it's important to clarify the problem first and get as much information as I can by collaborating with important stakeholders - BEFORE I start proposing possible solutions. I also try to think about what the best possible outcome might look like. FOR EXAMPLE, when I was at Company XYZ … (use one of your S.O.A.R.L. Stories here)
… and the result was about a 15% increase in cost-savings for that
project. What types of challenges are you currently facing in your
department? … What might I do to help you solve those problems in my first couple months on the job here?"
… See how you followed up your answer with a great question about THEIR needs? — Smart.
“... Shows You Word-for-Word Exactly What You Need To Say To Get Hired ...”
Interview Question
What did you like best and least about your previous job?
STRATEGY:
This is potentially a trick question. You want to indicate that what you liked best about your last job are things that will appeal to the Hiring Manager. Show that your last job allowed you to demonstrate many of the positive and desirable Behavioral Competencies that are discussed in-depth at the beginning of the Guide. Give specific examples of how your last job allowed you to flex your skills and show your maturity. When answering about what you liked least, keep it short and do not be negative.
"What I liked about my last was I was able to really develop my "XYZ" skills which I know will help me succeed here if I am fortunate enough to be able to join your team. What are the qualities of the people who have been most successful in your department?"
(Notice the
"data-mining" question ↑↑ about the skills and characteristics of other
people. You're sniffing for clues about what they want to hear!)
"One thing I liked about my last job was it allowed me to develop my project management skills
... FOR EXAMPLE, I was put in charge of a project where I had to earn
the "buy-in" of people from several different departments — and I had all the responsibility for getting the project completed but no real authority over my teammates. I was successful because
I involved key stakeholders from the beginning. My team knew that other
people were on board, so I was able to negotiate them to an agreement
on deadlines. Then day-to-day I made sure everyone was completing their
work on time by setting up a progress tracking system … Can I tell you about it?"
Interview Question
What's the worst mistake you ever made on the job, and what did you learn from it?
STRATEGY:
Think about what they want to hear. Show that you are able to learn from your mistakes, but don't offer up any negative examples concerning your past performance. Show that you have been successful, but that you have the maturity it takes to examine your own behavior so you can learn and grow and be a better employee. Be brief.
"Good question. Well, I have been successful at every job I've had, but I have had the normal ups and downs. I'd say that I do actively try to monitor the quality of my work so I can constantly be improving myself.
FOR EXAMPLE, I have had one or two hiccups with clients (or customers)
where their satisfaction was not exactly where I thought it was. I
learned that I have to really monitor certain difficult clients closely
and "take their temperature" so I can keep their satisfaction level as
high as possible. Have YOU had any customers like that here?"
“... Bob's materials not only offer a ton of specifics on how to get hired, but also motivate the reader to prepare with confidence! ...”
Interview Question
Describe a situation when working with a team produced more successful results than if you had completed the project on your own.
STRATEGY:
This is another Behavioral Interview style of question. The Hiring Manager wants to learn more about your thought process, and how well you can form examples to answer this teamwork-related question. You will want to show your ability to solicit ideas from others, listen carefully, and persuade people to your point of view.
"Well, throughout my career I've worked both independently and as a member of many teams. I have to say, though, that collaborating with other people across departments is always a good idea — specifically when it comes to brainstorming and knowledge sharing. When it's appropriate, I try to get outside perspectives on possible solutions. I did that a lot at Job 'ABC'. FOR EXAMPLE … and the OUTCOME was
a roughly 30% increase in cost-savings for the company, and a
significant decrease in the time it took to complete the project."
"Would that type of experience be relevant to this job? ... Great! ... So when do I start? ..." (don't be afraid so throw some humor in if it's going well!)
(don't be afraid so throw some humor in if it's going well!)The difference is ENORMOUS between people who have a flood of relevant stories, and people who don't.
