Preparing for situational interview questions, which are asked in a job interview to get a feel for how you'd handle particular situations in the position. These questions entail assessing a circumstance and responding with how you'd handle it in a solution-based way. Many situational questions require problem-solving skills to think through and respond effectively. Here we explore what you should include when answering situational-based interview questions and five situation questions you should be familiar with going into your next job interview.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I went through several rounds of interviews which were super awkward and unprofessional. In one video call, random people joined and my interview was cut short, so the interviewer called me on the phone instead. Someone actually mentioned during an interview that everyone on the team is unhappy due to restructuring. They also didn't seem to have clear direction on what they are doing with their events. It was a very strange experience overall.
