Competency based interviews

Behavioural interviews are increasingly used in MBA recruitment. They take the form of a conversation but focus on you and your behaviour rather than tasks carried out during previous jobs.

The basis of behavioural interviews is the belief that past experience is a predictor of future behaviour. Often behavioural interviews will include a number of hypothetical questions, asking how you would react to given situations. Behavioural interviews are often competency based, measuring your response to issues you are likely to come across in the job, such as managing other people, problem-solving or taking initiative.
