Interviewing success of failure are more often based on the (3. способность) of the job-seeker to communicate than on the truthfulness or content of their answers. (4. работодатели) are looking for the answer to three questions: does the job-seeker have the (5. навыки) and abilities to perform the job; does the job-seeker possess the enthusiasm and work ethic that the employer expects; and will the job-seeker be a team player and fit into the organization.

2) The behavioral job interview is based on the theory that past performance is the best indicator of future (6. поведение), and uses questions that probe specific past behaviors, such as: "tell me about a time where you confronted an unexpected problem," "tell me about an (7. опыт) when you failed to (8. достигать цели)," and "give me a specific example of a time when you managed several projects at once." Job-seekers need (9. готовиться) for these interviews by recalling scenarios that fit the various types of behavioral interviewing questions. Expect interviewers to have several follow-up questions and probe for details that explore (10. все аспекты) of a given situation or experience. Recent college grads with (11. маленький опыт работы) should focus on class projects and group situations that might lend themselves to these types of questions. Hobbies and volunteer work also might provide examples you could use. Job-seekers should frame their answers based on a four-part outline: (1) describe the situation, (2) discuss the actions you took, (3) relate the outcomes, and (4) specify what you learned from it.
