How behavioral interviews are scored
Lesson 1 of 4 · 5 min
Lesson notes
Interviewers use behavioral questions because past behavior predicts future behavior. Knowing how they score helps you answer well.
What they listen for
A clear situation and your specific role in it.
Concrete actions you personally took — not “we”.
A measurable or meaningful result.
Reflection: what you learned and would do differently.
They're not testing for a perfect story — they're testing how you think, act, and grow.
