Use this interview guide to assist you when conducting a behavioral interview (also referred to as the STAR approach). Customize the questions as needed to reflect situations that a prospective employee might encounter on the job. This guide includes 24 questions. It is not recommended that an interview include all of them. Selecting 8 to 12 questions will provide you with a good sense of the individual’s experience.

To understand the methodology behind this kind of interview, check out The Star Method of Interviewing. If you decide that you'd rather use a standard format, download our Standard Interview Form.

Very good guide but it would be more effective if you PROVIDE WITH VIRTUAL ANSWERS as well. This is becuase, a new interviewee cannot find how to answer and prepare specific drafts to answer.
Thanks,

Hi there Prof - I wanted to share this article with you, since it goes over how to answer these questions in detail. Hope that helps!

Hi Chrissy, this is Mary (mstrang). Just wanted to thank you for outlining the STAR approach and explaning it well. It never occurred to me that STAR and behavioral interviewing are essentially the same thing - one focuses on what the job candidate should do and the other focuses on what the recruiter/hiring manager should do. Thanks again for sharing your expertise and providing all these resources. I'm a newbie to Office Arrow and look forward to learning more.

Cheers,
MStrang
