Best advice I’ve ever gotten - identify 2-3 things that you’re all about. Maybe it’s your family, maybe it’s teaching others, maybe it’s you love marathons. No matter what question you’re asked, relate it back to one of those 2 or 3 things and you convey your values along with your answer every time. Thanks, high school guidance counselor!! I’ve used this for almost 20 years now.

I enjoyed my behavioral interview. I learned as much about them as they did of me. Even did well on the test in the middle. Have fun, enjoy the moment.

Shortly after the meeting begins, right before each question, fully exhale all of the air in your lungs. Then take a big inhale as if you will be diving underwater and holding your breath for several minutes. Repeat this process several times (while continuing to make eye contact) before each question
