What kind of fruit?
Now many candidates know how to answer the tricky questions of the employer about leaving their previous place of work, who they see themselves in five years, why they can benefit the company, etc. The probability of receiving socially desirable answers to them is very high. Therefore, some employers use the technique of situational interviews to assess the ability of the applicant to solve real problems, manage people, make decisions, and not just the ability to speak beautifully.
In such an interview, the employer describes the working situation and asks the candidate to talk about their actions. It is very difficult for the candidate with this method to determine which answer the representative of the company will like more. For a short period of time, the employer can comprehend the many professional qualities of the candidate.
This is a rather complicated method of staff selection, as it requires a creative approach, and therefore it is used relatively rarely. However, as a result of the interview, a decision on the candidate’s employment account can be made very quickly.
Who could run into?
You are most likely to encounter a situational interview if:
at work you often use communication skills (sales, consulting, support);
you often have to make decisions yourself;
You apply for a leadership position;
The company has a strict corporate culture.
Most likely, you will not be in a situation interview if:
You are a young specialist with no experience;
mass recruitment of employees.
How to get?
You may be warned in advance that a situational interview will be conducted, but often you will only find out about this on the spot. Therefore, Work.ua recommends being ready for anything. Remember the main points in the work regarding your specialization, what difficult cases and controversial issues have been in your practice, what were the right decisions in these situations. Look for relevant information on the Internet. The main thing is to consider everything, and not try to say the first thing that comes to mind. Listen to an example of a situation, think about several options, weigh the pros and cons, and only then sound the most correct from your point of view. The correct train of thought is important; explain step by step why you should do just that. It may happen that the right answer does not exist, and the employer is important to the course of your thoughts when making decisions.
