situational interviewing

Situational interviewing is a technique used in job interviews where candidates are presented with hypothetical scenarios related to the job they are applying for. The interviewer asks how the candidate would respond to these situations to assess their problem-solving skills, decision-making ability, and behavior in challenging circumstances. This method helps employers gauge a candidate's potential performance based on their reasoning and approach to real-world problems, providing insight beyond just their resume or past experiences. It aims to predict how a candidate might handle similar situations in the workplace.
