10 Behavioural Interview Questions You Must Prepare For
The STAR method alone won't save you. Learn how top candidates structure answers that are specific, honest, and memorable — with real examples for each question type.
Behavioural interviews are based on a simple premise: past behaviour predicts future performance. Knowing the ten most common question themes lets you prepare stories that work across multiple questions.
The STAR+ framework
Most candidates know Situation → Task → Action → Result. Add one more step: Reflection. What did you learn? What would you do differently? This turns a good answer into a great one.
The 10 must-prepare themes
1. Conflict with a colleague. 2. Missing a deadline. 3. Influencing without authority. 4. Handling ambiguity. 5. Biggest failure. 6. Prioritising competing demands. 7. Giving difficult feedback. 8. Going above and beyond. 9. Adapting to change. 10. Leading a team through a challenge.
