As explained, situational interview questions require candidates to explain how they would react and address work-related scenarios. Contrary to [behavioral interview questions] that regard past work experiences, situational questions are hypothetical situations.

Interviewers ask situational and scenario-based questions in every industry and company you can think of. The main goal for interviewers is to assess your suitability for the job. Situational job interview questions help them do just that. The benefit of situational questions is that it’s an effective way to assess how well you will do with the organization and position.
