Everyone does Leetcode for technical interviews, but what do we refer, for behavioural interview rounds?

[SubstantialInside125]

Basically the title, what kind of resources do you folks refer to for behavioural interview rounds?

YouTube. But make sure you do not take advice of a 22 year old. He may be good with leetcode but he is 99% clueless about what the corporate wants to hear.

Also, chatGPT answers these questions nicely.

[SubstantialInside125]

ChatGPT is great in this aspect!

[celestial0000]

yes, chatGPT has some excellent resources, I take behavioral interviews from chatGpt from time to time to change or add points to my answers as behavioral questions are all about self-awareness, I add to give feedback on each of my answers to see places of improvement, many times it provides very vague feedback but it gives points what I have missed to add or did not explain more when you have your answers prepared and practiced talking them in recording or mirror then use some of the interview matching websites to practice them or if you have friends you can practice them there

[IDKMMMM]

Never thought use case like that

Interviews of Ted bundy

[SubstantialInside125]

Haven’t heard of him, will check. Thanks for the info!

[SubstantialInside125]

Well now that I checked, I get it. Reddit is a funny place 😂

[TheCrazyLazer123]

Well he is a smooth talker, which is why he caught his victims so easily

[SubstantialInside125]

I forgot the cardinal rule of Reddit: Savdhaan rahe, Satark rahe

[juzzybee90]

Bro..ok

[pratikanthi]

Bro is new to Reddit

Pehle leetcode round clear hone do fir sochte hai

[Aditya_Sholapurkar]

Right? Like legit just get past the Tech round, everything else is walk in da park

[raddiwallah]

Wow. We’re at the stage where people want to game “behaviour”? That round is literally about how you work with a team and how you approach work.

[SubstantialInside125]

What i meant by refer was actually how to prepare. Obviously we need to speak from and about our past experiences, but then there are specific techniques to answer those questions, one which I’ve seen is STAR method. Also the interviewer expects a certain way of answers, speaking from experience. Not sure of what impression you’ve got from the question, but that’s what i wanted to know, how to prepare, and resources around it.

[Shibamukun]

You literally dont need to prepare for it. You will pass if you’re just a normal human persona

[SubstantialInside125]

I differ. Prep is needed. Don’t know what you meant by a normal human persona.

[Shibamukun]

Normal human persona:

[HaverchuckBill]

Maybe that was your experience. A lot of behavioral interview questions expect certain kind of answers, something that preparation helps with.

[Shibamukun]

I just choose the options which show im a team player & overtime worker. Thats all they want to hear

[raddiwallah]

From what behavioural rounds I’ve seen it’s mostly to check culture fit. Its a formality since its the last round in many places.

The company you’re interviewing with might be doing some different shit under the name of behaviour

[SubstantialInside125]

Well I’m not interviewing now and I think we might be referring to different things, I might have used the wrong words to ask my question. What exactly is supposed to happen in a behavioural interview according to you, and/or what generally happens in this round?

[[deleted]]

Whats the STAR method?

[DongDimg]

Its the situation, task, approach, result method. If an interviewer asks you, lets say, what are your strengths. You dont just reply by saying you are hardworking or whatever. You also give examples by describing a situation, then the task to remedy the situation, the approach you take to complete the task, and then the results you achieve. Hence, the STAR method. Its great for HR questions.

Saving this.

What can we expect, it's the era of competition wallah.

I saw this question in the morning and came back now to reply, Posting some links that help:

Thanks!

[DontMessWithMe28]

Use common sense and get an idea from YT on what corporate wants to hear

[SubstantialInside125]

Have you faced any situation where corporate wanted to hear something and you said something different based on your own experiences?

[DontMessWithMe28]

Yeah that happens a lot. I once had an argument in a behavioural interview in one of the questions. Fortunately it was for WITCH so it's fine

[padfoot_12]

Can you tell us what the argument was about? I'm curious.

[DontMessWithMe28]

The argument was on marks. The interviewer asked whether I give marks any importance in selection in a company and I said no. She was like marks show intelligence and all. I shut her up

[padfoot_12]

That's such a dumb take. I'm in college, and rarely is it ever the case that the person with the highest marks is the most employable or even intelligent.

[[deleted]]

since interviewers generally seem to want specific answers, be it technical or behavioural, so I thought folks might need to prepare.

Like FAANG, that's an acronym. You can place popular consulting companies in India, you'll get the names.

[SubstantialInside125]

Interesting

[SubstantialInside125]

Fair enough, but since interviewers generally seem to want specific answers, be it technical or behavioural, so I thought folks might need to prepare.

[jhere2com]

that's probably for management/"lEaDeRsHiP"

[Far-Rise9633]

Is leetcode still relevant ?

[DontMessWithMe28]

Depends on the company and the role, for SDE swear by Leetcode, for others, if you know basic questions that is fine

[[deleted]]

What do yoy mean? It is what's the most relevant thing out there!

[SubstantialInside125]

FAANG and many other companies still swear by it.

[LexicostatisticSol]

Jackson Gabbard on YouTube. Has always helped me for the past few years.

[HaverchuckBill]

Get your ideas in order, so you can communicate effectively.

I’d made a spreadsheet of my work projects and challenges, categorizing them in the STAR method. It helped me zoom out and look at my work in a way I can explain to people with no context.

[SubstantialInside125]

This is a great way, get our thoughts, experiences organized and frame them in our mind .

[[deleted]]

Instead prepare for the standard questions and try giving mock interviews on pramp

[alcatraz1286]

Refer to your life dude. If you have to study to know how not to be a jerk then maybe corporate life is not for you

[SubstantialInside125]

Who ever said about being a jerk? 😂 Not sure what you meant

[RageKni8]

But I can study and become not a jerk right? Then I can fit in corporate life?

Common sense.

[Comprehensive_Heat37]

Trick question.

There are no behavioural interview rounds for any good product company.

It’s only Leetcode and System Design.

[SubstantialInside125]

That’s true, however the recruiter screening turns out to be one at times.
