What are some tips for answering Targeted Selection questions?
• Listen carefully to the questions asked of you as well as any other important information the interviewer provides. • Take a few moments to think about real-life examples from your past or even current job situations before responding to the question, using the STAR approach. • Don’t hesitate to ask the interviewer to repeat the question. • Be specific and provide sufficient details. If more information is needed, the interviewer will ask you additional questions. • Be careful not to offer vague statements or personal opinions, beliefs and judgments • Ensure you describe what you actually did rather than what you “would like to” do or “would have” done. • Be sure to show confidence in your responses. • Relax and enjoy the conversation. *Materials taken from Development Dimensions Int’l, Inc, MCCMXCVIII.
