Episode 07: Intro to Behavioural Interviews

[@AKMax96]

Last year: watched this video to prepare for interviews. Now: watching this video to learn how to conduct interviews. That's how useful this video is

[@sscapture]

What's the matter to have those questions then? 😂

[@48956l]

This reads like a LinkedIn post lol

[@possiblewhiteguy]

As someone who's both conducted and been apart of hundreds of tech interviews, this is probably the best video resource explaining how behavioral interviews work (and should work) and expectations.

[@matrixRule127]

Absolute GOLD, even after 4 years!

This is the best video I have watched on behavioral interviews after having watched about 10 hours of material. The rationale of the advice and the friendly tone is just what makes it awesome. He is approaching the audience as a friend and a mentor rather that a marketer hungry for attracting ridiculous number of viewers. Thank you so much! This 1 hour was well worth it!

[@BrunoJuliao7]

I know the advice is as simple as "be yourself" but I loved so much all the information in between. Thanks a lot for this video.

[@mehrdadk.6816]

Found this video today, it's a gem no matter how old this is. You have a vey much high experience and you shared it with others, this means it's highly recommended to watch for anyone.

[@saamsuun4658]

Thank you! After years of teaching myself and experiencing a lot of rejection in the last 8 months, I've finally got a tech job without any commercial experience and started a new career path that I've wanted for a long time. Your realistic approach to interviews certainly helped me get there. Kudos!

- *Be genuine* - Culture fit - Communication expressing idea - Collaboration - way to coordinate with people. best way keep you point always last. - Don't blame take responsibility - Is it positive contributor? - Reverse engineering dont logically tuned a answer be genuine - Sometime mixed answer good + bad thing. - Project is team work may be you are worked big chunk but don't forget give credits to the team - Resume should tell own story progression of jobs. - Remove I word and add Me and Team - Passion long:- running enthuse also applicable where you work - Critical points below - Be genuine - Thing crucially about you Career and company you trying to work and what you want next in you career. - Own you strength and weakness. - End asking Question.

[@edwin-jq4dp]

You're doing God's work. Please, make more these type of videos about any content related to IT, actually I would love to see any type of video from you. The delivery, the usefulness and the actuality of topics are outright outstanding.

[@pinebitway]

This is the MOST useful video about the interviewing I've seen so far. Thank you very much Jackson!

[@deborar5122]

Hours and hours of material for interviews and none gave me the depth I found in this. Great video! So well explained

[@vijuks3]

I watched a few videos before watching this. Every other video was suggesting to put on a show in front of the interviewer, so hearing some one advising to be genuine was such a big relief!

[@ramyak8371]

You sir are truly a blessing in disguise. I must really thank you for this video. I took your advice/pointers before my behavioral interview with a big tech company. Guess what? I made it through!

[@pavithren]

Congrats!

[@azurkin]

The best material on behavioural interview for engineers I've ever seen. So much valuable information, zero nonsense. Thank you, kind person 🙂

[@irvinge4641]

Hello! I commented before and I watched your videos multiple times. I just wanted to stop by again and say thank you for this video. I just received two offers today and would not have gotten through them without your advice. Just having that sincere, honest, humble and genuine passion for learning kind of attitude will go a long ways :D

[@benjamintaylor5914]

One of the best I've watched. A great service to anyone looking to keep progressing in their career. Thanks, Jackson.

[@digidan_]

Sincerely one of the best youtube videos I've ever watched with respect to the quality and honesty of the content.

[@princetripathi1147]

This is one of the best resources I have came across regarding behavioral interviews. This video is absolute gold!

[@JustJoelTV]

This is by far the best video I have ever watched on behavioural interviews. Thank you

[@mohammadpartovi1813]

The best guideline for behavioral interviews. Hands down. Fantastic job. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@SwapnilSuhane]

most sexiest & by heart interview tips talked...really enjoyed it !! Now I feel more relaxed about being yourself, genuine and smash it like feeling. Thanks a ton for your efforts !!

[@gauthamhonnavara]

This was absolutely amazing !. I always had a tough time understanding what I did wrong in a behavioral interview. This video is pure gold ! Time to introspect

[@yuchsiao2]

Amazingly dense and solid suggestions on the topic that is very abstract and hard to grip. Really appreciate your sharing what the other side hears and feels about. Please make more episodes!

[@philippeclavier4190]

Best video I have seen on behavioural interviews. Not trying to give out a cheatsheet, but describing what you should expect and what the interviewers are trying to get from it. Thanks for the advice!! TL;DW: Be genuine

[@TheRover2010]

Thanks for the video, it is excellent. As someone who is from a different culture and came to a different country, I had to play by the rules described in the local HR articles. For example, they mention that saying "I want this job because it pays well" is not perceived well in the US companies. So I had to come up with some bullshit which was perceived well. It did help me to get high paying jobs in well known companies. Sometimes I got myself into a situation when I hated my job. But generally, I'm pretty good at doing my job and have never been fired (that just means I've never got impacted by a major layoff and never badly screw up anything personally). So for me it is just a matter of getting through the interview playing by the rules of not well known me culture. I am trying to be brutally honest on my interviews now, it is not an easy thing to do after all :) Most of the time I hear back - thank you for your straight talk, but thank you. I do hope it will finally get me into the right place in my career though.

[@DheerajSharma14]

Absolutely loved it! I don’t remember if I have even watched so long on KZbin. I binged watch both system design and this episode back to back... Both of them completely worth the time and clears out a lot of apprehensions I had! Thank you for sharing them...

[@manukumarsh]

Thankyou very much. With tons of advisers on you tube I found your’s the most authentic one

[@hesamkalhor3263]

Fantastic talk, With no noisy background music. Thank you for creating this.

[@jackiehuynh8417]

This is amazing, and I’m glad I made time to watch the whole thing through! I’m currently prepping for a recruiting coordinator interview for Airbnb, and this video totally affirmed why I want so badly to be in recruiting. Please do more!!

[@panagiotispetridis7961]

By far one of the best episodes

[@alexsavul]

I can't remember last time I was so excited for something to come out. easily my favourite youtube channel

[@hksubs]

Extremely helpful pointers, and neat examples. You spoke genuinely and thoughtfully. I took notes.

[@pavithren]

This video is a hidden gem @Jackson! Thanks so much!!! I totally agree with you about being Genuine, whether it's for behavioural interviews or for relationships!

[@joynalabedin2875]

Best video on this topic I've seen so far. Thank you, Jackson, so much for putting your time on to this.

[@happymaruko5226]

"Best video on this topic I've seen so far. " Agree!

[@bcreane]

How often are you told not only that it's okay to be yourself, but that it's absolutely essential to be authentic? Love the message and massively enjoyed the talk. Thanks for making this!

[@cruxae]

One thing about reverse engineering questions -- I think calling it that is a bit of a misnomer. This whole guide IS about reverse engineering the questions. Reverse engineering the questions is essentially knowing that the questions are looking for signal on communication, collaboration, your passions and verifying your history. With that knowledge, I've reverse engineered the questions to answer them with this framework in mind and making sure my answer showcases all those things. What you actually mean is that you shouldn't lie and think that the questions are trying to trick or mislead you in a way. You shouldn't take massive credit for things or not be self critical. However, I think it's okay to embellish a few details (there is a limit though), because the interviewer obviously cannot verify this.

[@bryandastmalchi3250]

I usually skip around with KZbin videos, but not with this one. Thanks for the helpful detail. I have an interview coming up and this was so well thought out.

[@islamsalah7994]

I have seen this video many times and still like seeing it

[@priyanshu4016]

thanks, brother, today I had an interview and I fellow as you said "be yourself and speak the truth, and I followed "I really feel great, whether I may select or reject that doesn't matter now. but this was a great experience to know myself as the real me. thanks, brother for such great teaching

[@apidas]

thank you. this video literally prevented me to do so many mistakes that I would've done otherwise

[@puneetpatial]

I was actually provided with this video link from one of the tech giants for interview preparation.I get why they suggested it because of your experience in the field. I am very grateful to you as now I will know how to tackle the interview and excel it. Thanks!

[@Sykone4717]

I wish there were more of your videos. Your explainations are excellent. They're right to the point and exactly what someone who's attempting to get into this field needs to hear. I hope that the break between uploads is more because you're busy, and not that you're no longer making videos.

[@ArchanaMS-ql3ld]

Thank you for covering so many aspects with relatable anecdotes. I would probably have to re-watch it to fully get the essence and importance of behavioral interviews.

[@DenisAvdeevUA]

one of the best videos about interviewing process in tech. that would've been so exciting to be interviewed by someone like this guy

[@sharidass1408]

Greate Job! Probably the first youtube video I sat through for an entire hour without pausing.

[@getmeon4]

I would pay to hear you talk, so glad you've created this channel and talk so freely about your experience and give advice.

Hey Jackson, thanks a lot for making these videos available. This one was pretty nice because it got me thinking about my failures and mistakes I made (not something I think about that often). Thanks, dude!

[@hemanthreddyvennapusa18]

Thank you for the most clear guide on approaching these kinds of interviews ! Now I understand the main reason I didn’t pass this interview 2 years back at a company. And that part at 12:50 really resonates with how I answered these questions

I appreciate this video, it obviously comes from someone with deep experience in the subject and you weren't trying to sell me anything :-)

[@AussieAmigan]

I agreed with everything until right at the end. Asking what programming language you're working in is probably THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION if you don't know. Heck, it can shape your entire career's prospects. Every employer wants one year longer experience than the actual life of the technology. If you take your time jumping on the latest thing you're behind forever. And it's not just any latest thing, but you have to discern its potential longevity also. Of course any developer worth their salt can adapt to any language or tech, but a lot, indeed most companies, are hiring for direct experience and usually its right there in the job listing. That the company hasn't settled on a common tech, or have their own home grown language is a sure fire way of throwing your coding career away. Hard to imagine a world where this is not the case. What a lovely place that would be. Is this guy so senior, or in management, it no longer matters? My 25 years of dev experience disagrees.
