Sample of Behavioral Based Interview Questions:
- Tell me about a time a child(ren) you were responsible for was acting very defiantly and not listening to your instructions. What steps did you take to resolve the issue?
- Describe what you would do, as someone who is responsible for overseeing children in our programs, regardless of age, engaging in behavior that was considered inappropriate?
- Tell me about a time when someone commended you for your good judgment and common sense. What was the situation and how did you handle the situation?
