Behavioral Interviewee-ing: Inverting the Corporate Interview to Get You Hired
Jason Fredrickson

our resume “worked.” You talked with the recruiter. Now it’s time for the Real Interviews. But do you know how you’re being judged? What methods the firm is using to evaluate candidates? Sure, you’re going to get some questions about EDR and VPC flow logs and lateral movement. But what about those other questions, like “tell me about your greatest failure” and “how would you handle a disagreement with your boss?”

In this session, we will walk through the theory behind behavioral interviewing and the ways it commonly manifests in the interview process. We will discuss how interviewers - both well- and poorly-trained - select questions and evaluate answers. And then we will walk through the entire interview, from invitation to waving good-bye, and optimize it. We will discuss specific techniques you can use to leave a better impression and firmly establish yourself in the interviewers’ minds as a prime candidate.
