Align with Job Description: Questions should target specific competencies identified in the job description.
Use Action Verbs: Focus on actions taken (e.g., "developed," "implemented," "negotiated").
Focus on Specific Situations: Prompt for concrete examples, avoiding vague inquiries like "Tell me about a time you worked under pressure." Instead, ask, "Describe a situation where a tight deadline required prioritizing tasks effectively."
The STAR Method:

The STAR method provides a framework for candidates to structure their responses to behavioral questions:

Situation: Briefly describe the context and challenges faced.
Task: Explain your specific role and responsibilities in the situation.
Action: Detail the specific actions you took to address the challenge.
Result: Describe the outcome of your actions, quantifying achievements if possible.
Beyond Technical Skills:

Behavioral interviewing goes beyond technical skills, offering insights into:

Problem-Solving Approach: Explore how the candidate tackled challenges, revealing their thought process and analytical abilities.

Communication Style: Pay attention to clarity, conciseness, and ability to articulate ideas effectively.
Work Style: Understand if the candidate thrives in independent or collaborative environments.
Benefits and Best Practices:

Reduced Bias: Focusing on past actions minimizes the influence of unconscious bias based on appearance or background.

Increased Predictability: Understanding past performance in similar situations improves the likelihood of future success.

Deeper Candidate Evaluation: Behavioral questions move beyond a resume, revealing a more holistic picture of the candidate's capabilities.

Best practices:

Develop a set of behavioral questions for each role to ensure consistency.

Pay close attention to the candidate's use of the STAR method and probe for further details.

Evaluate responses across candidates using a consistent scoring rubric.

LOS CHILES MEXICANOS 2.
EL Chile no es sólo un condimento extraordinario, quizá el más versátil de cuantos existen; es, también, un alimento de gran valor nutritivo.

Es rico en vitaminas: el vegetal con mayor concentración de ácido ascórbico que se conoce (el descubrimiento de esta sustancia en la pulpa del chile le valió al doctor húngaro Albert Szent-Gyürgyi el otorgamiento del Premio Nobel de fisiología y medicina en 1937).

Los chiles frescos contienen más del doble de vitamina C que el limón y la naranja y casi seis veces más que la toronja; los secos, por su parte, contienen vitamina A en una proporción mayor que, las zanahorias, por ejemplo. Los chiles poseen además cantidades significativas, aunque menores, de vitaminas E, P y B, y de algunos minerales.
Si bien su consumo excesivo puede provocar diversas molestias, como gastritis o úlceras, comer chile resulta esencial para una dieta balanceada. Y entre los mexicanos todavía más: se ha comprobado que el chile induce una alta digestibilidad de las proteínas del maíz y del frijol, de modo que, como dice José lturriaga, 
“el chile no es para los mexicanos solamente un complemento alimenticio, sino un multiplicador nutricional”.

La interdependencia que se ha conservado en la típica tríada alimenticia mexicana: maíz, frijol y chile, integra un complejo de componentes altamente alimenticios que se equilibran y refuerzan entre sí. Un taco de frijoles con salsa no es solamente sabroso sino nutritivo.

Adicionalmente sus usos industriales son cada vez mayores. El chile rojo en polvo, rico en capsantina (ingrediente que determina la cantidad de pigmento en un chile), se emplea en la avicultura como alimento para las gallinas, con objeto de obtener una intensa coloración amarilla, muy apreciada, tanto en las yemas de los huevos como en la piel de los pollos.

LOS CHILES MEXICANOS 2

We live in a world of rules. We see them everywhere when we travel by plane. No liquids! Wait here! Turn off your phones!

But what about those unspoken rules — the ones that aren't written down and no one is exactly sure about.

A travel expert from the US has been explaining her unspoken rules for the airplane journey.

TV host Samantha Brown shared her rules with CNN, including one that makes the middle seat feel a little more comfortable.

According to Brown, if you find yourself in one of the middle seats on a plane, you should get both of the armrests to yourself.

Sitting in the middle isn't always very popular and so Brown says these passengers should get "anything they want."

That means even if the people on the outside begin using those armrests, the person in the middle has the right to "slowly push them off!"

Brown says she likes the aisle seat best because she feels she has more space.

She added that people sitting by the window should have control of the window blind — whether it's up or down. And the others don't have the right to decide!

One thing that can make some passengers angry is people in front putting their seats back.

Brown has a rule for this — if the journey takes less than three hours, she doesn't put her seat back, but she does if it's a longer trip.
