I wanted to email you as soon as I heard. I just found out that I passed Phase II FBI interview, and wanted to thank you again for getting me more prepared. I certainly felt more prepared this time around than I did the first time.
I will say the room was very tense, I didn’t receive a lot of feedback to my responses, just the occasional head nods, but I even cracked a small joke which was met with no response, so it was a little intimidating.
Although I felt pretty good about the interview, I still left unsure of how well I did because of the tense atmosphere
I felt I was in, but from what I hear from other internal employees, is they are trying to standardize the panels, so everyone gets a similar situation, so this may be the norm.
Again, thank you for the advice and everything you helped me with.
RIGHT NOW —- NOTHING SEEMS TO BE NORMAL FOR THE FBI HIRING ………
Even though the FBI seems to be on hold with hiring, be sure that you are getting ready for when they do call.
Start, or continue, writing those stories to answer “behavioral questions.”
- Give us an example…
- Tell us about a time when…
- Describe in detail…
“I believe what helped the most was preparing for “Why the FBI”, being tough when editing the stories and helping me flush out my personal feelings in the stories of “how did you feel”, as well as the last session where you asked me questions and I identified which factor they lined up with.”
A NEW SERVICE ADDED TO MY COACHING PACKAGES
Being able to tell “good stories” is the foundation of the FBI interview process.
I critique stories – with an unbiased hand. I’m tough!
(If you don’t take critiques well, you probably won’t like my service.)
I will critique your stories and tell you what you need to do to improve on your stories for the interviewers to get what they need from the story.
If you feel that you are confident and have good interviewing skills, and may not feel that you need Coaching. BUT, you may want to consider receiving some feedback on your story content and what you are telling – or not telling – your interviewers.
This is a TOUGH interview – because it is “blind,” and because they are seeing patterns of behavior through your stories – good and bad!
*************************************************************************************
I think a former client says it best about the “story” responses to “behavioral questions.”
I think the biggest impact for me personally was getting in the habit of talking about my thought process/feelings, not just reciting a string of events.
Forcing me to write down all my stories and receiving your feedback really helped with recall (I didn’t have to pause more than a couple seconds to answer any of the questions).
