Behavioural Interview
In recruiter context
The premise is simple: how you behaved in the past predicts how you'll behave in the future. Almost every UK and US interview has at least three of these. The structured way to answer them is the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). I see candidates lose offers because they ramble through the situation and never get to the result.
