situational interview questions
and how to answer them. This video also has a listening practice that will help you recognize these questions and prepare for them. After watching this video, watch some of my other job interview and employment skill videos. You can also practice further with the resource page I’ve created, which contains many examples of situational job interview questions.

Got 08. Emma ,In question no 03. Aren’t th ese both statements are correct.
1. Describe a time when you had to make a difficult decision ( in it ,it has the keyword “you”)
2. How would you deal with an angry customer ( in it, it has would you) so ,will the second option be consider as situational ?
Firstly, thank you Emma for your teaching, secondly, That’s my question too. I chose the third option, but it is wrong.
The answer to question 3 has been fixed. Sorry for this.
I though the same thing too.
The first option is related to your possible past experience…
You should be specific i think is the correct one.please i need more improvement in this lesson.
Annie, the person whose comment is above o maybe below mine. I think you are right the answer for the number 3 question is wrong, maybe they did it on purpose ???, because in number one answer they ask you to tell something that already happened in the past. Well that’s what i think ?…
Hi Emma. Me too, think about question 03 that the phrase how would you deal.. is a situational question. Am I right?
I got 9/10 and wrong at number 6. But I think the answer: told my supervise and find out a solution together is the better answer. Thank Emma
So I got, 8/10, It´s good.Thank Emma.
Hi emma. Excellent class. However I don’t understand why in question # 3 the right answer is the first option. Can you explain that ?
90% I wrong n. 3
Thanks a lot…!!
Hi madam Emma ,
.I am Sri Lankan .I study in Springfield college in grade 3.I always watch your vidieos every
day.I hope you will reply my questions .
Nice exercise.
I would like more example about Foreign Trade area interviews
Thanks Emma for a interesting lesson. I had a problem with a question no 3. Maybe you will explain it when you have a time. Thank you!!!
You were right! The incorrect answer was marked correct, but it’s fixed now.
Dear Emma! I’m sure it’s not your fault, but the answer to question 3 is wrong. Obviously, the correct answer is ‘How would you deal with an angry customer?’, not the first one, ‘Describe a time when you had to make a difficult decision.’, which the system gives as the correct one. Thank you for your time and effort,
Peter
The correct answer at the question 8th is grammatically wrong. Would cannot be with the conditional if. I am almost sure about that. Here the second conditional is applied because it is talking about situational questions. In other words unprobable situations.
Have a look and you will see.
Oh I got 9/10. Thanks Emma. However I thought an interview question that has a line that says “describe a time when you *had* to make a difficult decision is suggesting you talk about your past experience which I thought it’s a behavioral interview question, because it’s assumed it happened sometime in the past. I don’t know but please kindly shed some light on this. Thanks.
Emma, could you please comment question number 3?
It’s good beginning for me, 9/10. Thank you for making this great quiz. Yeay

Teacher Emma bush me for that .thanks
I have not a dog, can I speak with my mother’s cat?
9/10 I understood very well your explanation about situational interwieww questions , there are england teacher for me are verye dificult to undertand, but i think that i need to hear them.
Thank you so much teacher Emma for this lesson. It missed me too much to have a lesson like this one.
However I have a doubt at the answer of question 8 and it´s the next one: Is the conditional IF with the modal WOULD? As far as I´m concerned i was not taught like that. So, Should the part of the answer not be in past simple instead? It means: If i were able to get the assignment…..
I wait for an answer to this doubt as soon as possible.
Thank you so much again.
Have a good one

This interview tips are very helpful to me. I have 3 failed interview in the past because I’m not good in speaking English. I don’t have confident with my answers. You know, I understand what the questions of the interviewee but the problem is, when I speak I got mental blocked coz I don’t know how to construct my answers using English. That’s why I’m here to improve my English and to have confident.
Hello Emma. You are a very good teacher. Thank you for this lesson. I was at many interviews when I was looking for a job. Many times I didn’t get a job because I couldn’t speak English. That is why I have to learn and practice my English.
Thanks emma.
