The One Behavioral Question Hiring Managers Love
Description
Episode 8 of Interview Prep with Fexingo breaks down the single behavioral question that hiring managers say reveals more than any other: 'Tell me about a time you had to influence someone without authority.' Lucas and Luna walk through why this question is so effective, how it tests soft skills like persuasion and collaboration, and how to structure your answer using the STAR method. They dissect a real example from a marketing manager who convinced a skeptical engineering team to prioritize her campaign. You'll leave with a concrete framework and a practiced answer you can adapt for your next interview. Plus, the hosts share why interviewers often ask this question at the 30-minute mark—and what that timing tells you about their priorities. No fluff, just actionable advice from two career pros who've been on both sides of the table.
