Master The Behavioral Interview As A Software Engineer
Course description
Problems with algorithms and data structures (such as tasks on LeetCode) often distract software engineers during interview preparation. However, to land a really good job in the tech industry (even in FAANG), you need to master much more than just LeetCode. If you want to successfully pass an interview for a software engineer position, you absolutely need to be well-prepared for what is actually the most important type of interview - the behavioral interview.
Here's what makes behavioral interviews so important:
- They are encountered at every stage of the interview process, from major tech companies to startups
- They can screen you out early (often at the preliminary screening stage with a recruiter)
- They are widely used to determine the candidate's level
- If you fail them, you won't get a job offer

Despite this, many engineers consider them pointless and "empty" exercises. This leads to them failing such interviews, often without realizing that this is the reason for their rejection. After taking this course, that won't happen to you anymore. Upon completing it, you will:
- Have the right mindset for successfully answering any behavioral questions
- Understand the difference between good and bad behavioral responses
- Master proper preparation tactics
- Develop skills for analyzing companies
- Learn what successful responses look like at different levels
The beauty of behavioral interviews is that by improving your skills for these interviews, you become a better engineer overall. Skills such as effective communication, the ability to speak charismatically, and the capacity for empathy are fundamental qualities useful at any stage of a career.
