Episode 07: Intro to Behavioural Interviews

In this video, we break down the goals, components, and best practices of Behavioural Interviews. While they are, for the most part, non-technical, you might find yourself faced with questions you don't feel ready to answer in an interview like this. This episode will help you understand what it's all about and how you can be genuine without shooting yourself in the foot.

[@AKMaksat]

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? 😂

[@matrixRule127]

Absolute GOLD, even after 4 years!

[@chingizt3106]

Even 7 years after

[@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.

[@sunil.b]

- *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.

[@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.

[@MasoudKiaeeha]

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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@digidan_]

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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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...

[@benjamintaylor5914]

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

[@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.

[@alexiushale]

This was amazing. I just watched again since I have a behavioral interview this afternoon. I took plenty of notes and feel ready to go. Thanks again.

[@alexsavul]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@panagiotispetridis7961]

By far one of the best episodes

[@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.

[@Pingmin]

The best video for behavioural interviews. Thank you!

[@gauthamhonnavara]

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

[@cesaredecal2230]

This was extremely helpful for my interview, thank you!

[@hksubs]

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

[@sharidass1408]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@NickAtLA]

Thank you so much for this video. It really helps me to better understand the behavioral interviews as a college grad. Look forward to your new videos!

[@henryvanho7971]

[@hesamkalhor3263]

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

[@rodrigueswilder]

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!

[@TamDNB]

I feel so much better about my interview tomorrow, thanks mate.

[@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!

[@joelfong]

Just wanna say a big thanks for this video. I really appreciate the honest and genuine advice you have put into this. I love your channel and I hope you continue making videos every now and then. (:

[@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

[@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
