ASU behavioral worksheet thumbnailEmployers will generally ask behavioral interview questions from approximately ten different categories. Your job, prior to the interview, is to think about specific situations from your past that fall into each category.

ASU Interviewing offers comprehensive strategies and resources for answering behavioral questions. Particularly, employers are looking for you to describe an actual and specific past experience using the STAR technique. This technique allows you to break your experiences down into specific components and is a great way to prepare for behavioral questions.
