The November 10, 2010 Chapter Meeting
Surviving a Behavioral Interview
Many software companies use behavioral interview techniques instead of the traditional interview. If you are a hiring manager, come find out why behavioral interviews reveal things that straightforward interviewing techniques don't. If you are a job seeker, come find out what these kinds of interviews are really looking for—and leave with some ideas about how to ace your next interview. This talk will also briefly review the top 5 candidate Dos and Don'ts—some of which may surprise you. If time permits, we'll even do a little role-playing.
