ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UN LEÑADOR QUE ERA MUY HONRADO Y NO QUISO MENTIR. Y
POR SER ASÍ RECIBIÓ UN PREMIO.

Antes de comenzar la lectura

1. ¿Te molesta que tus amigos mientan?

2. ¿Tienes amigos que nunca mienten?

3. Adivina qué premio recibió el leñador por no ser mentiroso.

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Había una vez un pobre leñador que regresaba a su casa después de una
jornada de duro trabajo. Al cruzar un puentecillo sobre el río, se le cayó el
hacha al agua. Entonces empezó a quejarse tristemente:

—¿Como me ganaré el sustento ahora que no tengo hacha?
Al instante ioh, maravilla! una bella ninfa aparecía sobre las
aguas y dijo al leñador:

—Espera, buen hombre, traeré tu hacha.

Se hundió en la corriente y poco después aparecía con un hacha
de oro entre las manos. El leñador dijo que aquella no era la
suya.

Por segunda vez se sumergió la ninfa, para aparecer después
con otra hacha de plata.

—Tampoco es la mía —dijo el triste leñador.

Por tercera vez la ninfa busco bajo el agua. Al
aparecer llevaba un hacha de hierro.

—¡Oh, gracias, gracias! ¡Esa es la mía!

—Pero, por decir la verdad, yo te regalo las otras
dos. Has preferido ser pobre y no mentir y te
mereces un premio.

Robert, a talented but interview-anxious software developer, landed his dream job interview. He had the technical skills, but his past experiences with open-ended questions left him feeling unprepared.  To help, I, his career coach, introduced him to the power of behavioral interviewing.

We started by dissecting the job description. We identified key skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and communication.  Then, I crafted mock behavioral questions targeting those skills. For example, "Tell me about a time you debugged a complex coding error while collaborating with a team."

Next, I introduced Robert to the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).  We practiced crafting compelling responses using his past projects.  For the example question, Robert described a project with a critical bug impacting user experience. He highlighted how he collaborated with his team, broke down the issue logically, and ultimately identified the root cause, leading to a successful fix.

The coaching didn't stop there.  We role-played the interview, focusing on clear communication and confident delivery.  I encouraged Robert to use action verbs and quantify his achievements where possible.  Instead of simply saying "fixed the bug," he could say "identified and resolved a critical bug, improving application performance by 20%."

The interview day arrived, and Robert aced it!  He later told me the behavioral questions felt familiar thanks to our preparation.  By showcasing his past experiences using the STAR method, he convinced the interviewer of his skills and fit for the role.  Robert's success story is a testament to the power of behavioral interview preparation.
