They ask situational questions. "Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult team member". They used to ask for a short synopsis, then would dive in with questions. Goal was to understand your role (so respond with "I" not "we") and get 3 points of evidence from each initial question. What was the situation, what did you do, how did you feel, what did you do next, what was the outcome. So your situation needs to be meaty enough to support a few detailed questions. Situations need to be recent and complete.

Behaviorals to formulate a mono culture - are a sham (listen NPR podcast). They are easy to hack if you prepare. Take time to prepare and you will ace it.

They’ll give you a scenario and see how you approach it. I would suggest ask question throughout the interview to make it more conversational.

More situational. How you have handled tricky client situations in the past.

Google “Situation, Behavior, Impact”

I joined as a recent grad but they asked a ton of questions about leadership, team and “client facing” experience. They also asked me questions related to my capacity to learn quickly. If you don’t use the STAR method, they will push you to do so.

I second A1. Be cool and confident and you’ll be ok

Follow up question. After the behavioral interview, how many additional rounds are there?

One or two in my experience including MD confirming interview.

I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
