Behavioral Event-Based Interview

The concept behind Behavioral Event Interviews (BEI) is that past behavior is a reliable indicator of
future response in a similar situation. BEI is different from the traditional screening interviews:

Instead of asking how you would behave in a particular situation, the interviewer will ask you how you
did behave. Expect your interviewer to question and probe your answers.

The interviewer will ask you to provide details and will not allow you to theorize or generalize about
several events.

What the Admissions Committee is looking for:

The interviewer will be looking for concrete and specific examples revealing one or several of the
following traits during the interview:

Influencing others: the ability to influence a person, group or organization.


Relationship building: the ability to build and maintain professional relationships.
Drive: the ability to set an objective and achieve it.

Preparing for BEI:

Recall a recent situation that showed favorable behaviors or actions, especially involving work
experience, leadership, professional relationships, teamwork, planning, etc.

Prepare short descriptions of each situation; be ready to give details when asked. Be sure the story has a
beginning, a middle and an end. Focus on the challenges you faced and how you handled them.

Be specific. Recall the results and the impact your actions had.

Examples: (note that different candidates may be asked different questions based on their background.
