Situational Interview Analysis

Behavioral interviews ask you to describe stories in your past that exhibit the behaviors the interviewer is discussing. Behavioural interview is another method of interviewing where interviewers ask candidates to describe actual experiences they have had in dealing with specific job or related issues. Situational interviews look at the future. During a situational interview the interviewer describes a situation likely to arise on the job and asks the candidate what he or she would do in that given situation (Gorden, 1969). The main difference between behavioral and situational interview is that behavioral interviews focus on past experiences and behavior of the applicant, while situational interviews concentrate on how the applicant will react when confronted with a given situation.
