Behavioral Interview Tips for Success

• Focus
  on examples that clearly demonstrate the required behavior. If the
  behavioral question asks you to describe a time you had to solve a
  problem do not frustrate the interviewer with examples that are not
  relevant and do not clearly and completely show this ability.
• Problem
  solving includes coming up with alternative courses of actions after
  considering the information and resources you have, deciding on the best
  course of action to take and committing to it. Your behavioral answer
  should include all these key actions in order to effectively demonstrate
  your problem solving ability.
• Avoid going into too much
  background detail. You will lose the interviewer's interest. Establish
  the context of your actions briefly but clearly.

• The example
  you provide should center around your actions and your contribution. A
  behavioral example in which you play a minor or supporting role does not
  give the interviewer the evidence they want. Your answer should use the
  words "I", "me" and "my" rather than we", "us" and "they".
