Answer:
situational interview question
Explanation:
It relates to Questions on circumstances that provide insights to employers on an interviewee thought processes and logical reasoning.
This kind of question requires job seekers to reply to a certain situation they could encounter on the job. It test analytical and problem-solving skills based on short notice and little preparation.
Situational interviews seems alike to behavioral interviews. Behavioral base on a previous experience while situational interviews base on a hypothetical condition. Take for instance in a behavioral interview the interviewer could begin by saying "Tell me about a time you had to deal with..." In a situational interview the interviewer says "How would you handle..."
The way out in situational interviews is to look at your previous work experiences and consider the actions you employed in dealing with the problems and make the right changes. A short story that discuss your answer might help too in indicating experience at dealing with likely situations.
