How long is the short behavioral interview?

The short behavioral interview is approximately 20 minutes. Alicia asks two in-depth behavioral questions and follows up on each answer, giving you focused practice without the full 30-minute commitment.

What is the difference between the behavioral and behavioral short interview?

The full behavioral interview (30 min) covers 3-4 questions across a wider range of topics. The short behavioral interview (20 min) focuses on two in-depth questions with follow-ups, giving you the same depth of practice in less time.
