1 Listener
Behavioral interview questions require candidates to share examples of specific situations they’ve been in where they had to use certain skills. These are also probably the most dreaded interview questions—those “tell me about a time when...” questions we all hope we don’t get asked. By using Story Circles you can learn how to answer any interview question. That’s why this episode is dedicated to teaching you this unique technique. We’ll also hear from Ali O’Reilly, a career coach and expert on this strategy. In “Dear Career Contessa,” we’ll help a reader who feels undervalued as a manager of a new team and what she can do to move forward.
