Many interviewers now use behavioural interview questions.
The premise behind asking behavioural interview questions is that your past behaviour is a good predictor of your future behaviour.
In this post I am going to give you 88 different behavioural interview questions. But don’t just read this post in isolation. If you’d like to get the most value out of this post and succeed in interview there are two things you also need to do.
1) Read this post I wrote a while back on behavioural interview questions and how to handle them.
2)Â Get the free copy of Impressive Interview’s e-book: The Seven Deadly Sins To Avoid At Job Interviews. It’s at the bottom of the interview questions listed on this post.

In case you didn’t notice, we’ve launched an app 🙂
It’s called myPitch.
It helps you craft an elevator pitch to impress the interviewer within the first 30 seconds.
Check out the android version here. Here’s a link to the iPhone version.
So we were very honoured to be featured on the morning of the launch by Fiona Smith from the BRW. Check her out on Twitter here fionaatwork.
We’ve been truly delighted by all the support the app has received so far, and would sincerely like to thank everyone for their support.
But back to Fiona. She blogs on all sorts of topics around the workplace and job hunting on the BRW’s website. See her profile here.
The article covers the five trickiest interview questions.
Like these questions or loathe these questions, you need to be prepared to answer them.
The interview questions are:
(1) Tell me about yourself.
(2) Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
(3) Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses.
(4) Tell me about a time where you made a mistake.
(5) Why should we hire you?
If you’d like some tips on how to manage these questions, check out Fiona’s piece: answers to the five trickiest interview questions.

Have you ever fumbled for words at an interview, or had a babble or a brain freeze when you’ve been asked at a networking event “So what do you do?”
Well, now there’s an app to stop that myPitch!
I am thrilled to announce that myPitch is now available for download from the App Store.
With easy instructions and sample answers to the dreaded “Tell me about yourself” and “So, what do you do?” questions, myPitch lets you film your pitch, replay it and re-film until you get it pitch perfect.
You can then store your pitch on myPitch’s gallery, and share it on social media.
