behavioral interviewing
Many thanks to Lifehacker.com for explaining to me what happened during my interview earlier this year.
My company is now using behavioral interviewing. The questions feel like such BS, but after reading a bit on this topic the point of this interviewing style becomes clear. Get people to fess up to past performance instead of just regurgitating the same old "tell me what I want to hear" answers.
The thing is if you are unfamiliar with this type of interviewing it's a MISERABLE experience. Next time I hope that I won't be so dumbfounded.
