Behavioral questions are interview inquiries designed to assess how a candidate has handled situations in the past. These questions often start with phrases like "Tell me about a time when..." and focus on specific experiences that demonstrate skills, problem-solving abilities, and interpersonal interactions. The goal is to predict future behavior based on past actions. Employers use behavioral questions to gain insights into a candidate's work ethic, teamwork, and conflict resolution skills. By analyzing responses, interviewers can evaluate whether a candidate's experiences align with the values and requirements of the job or organization.
