I have a job interview and they have told me beforehand that I will have questions along the lines of "Give an example of a time when...........................?" Anybody had this type of interview and what exact questions do they ask?

Yes, I have been asked to describe problems in the workplace and how I resolved them, what I think my greatest achievement is and things like that. Depends what kind of job it is.

Not to repeat what the other people said: 1. I am seeking professional growth and development. You might even add in, the company I worked for allowed me to only focus on 1-2 targeted areas, and I want a career where I can be emmersed in a variety of challenging endeavors. 2. I have never had anyone ask me how much I was looking for in a job interview. That information is usually asked when you apply. You should know what you are getting. If you are pressured, look online for jobs in your area and provide a range and like the person above me, mention that you are flexible, as other things need to be taken into consideration including benefits and promotions.

these give me questions are asked in behavioral job interviews, interviewers are trying to feel you out, trying to find out how you deal with others, deal with situation etc.
Give me a specific example of a time when you used good judgment and logic in solving a problem.
Give me an example of a time when you were able to successfully communicate with another person even when that individual may not have personally liked you (or vice versa).
Give me a specific example of a time when a co-worker or classmate criticized your work in front of others. How did you respond? How has that event shaped the way you communicate with others?

No answer for exact questions, unless someone in here is gonna be giving you the interview.
They will be looking for ways you have used your initiative and skills to overcome problems or dealt with situations in the past and see if you have the ability to be able to match your current skills and knowledge to the job you are applying for. They will want you to give examples of your experiences and for you to be able to reflect on them and to explain how these experiences have or haven't changed your perceptions or your work ethic.

yeah i had an interview like this.... they ask you to give examples of when you were in a team based environment, or if you supervied a team what did you do to keep motivation etc..
a time when you were in a difficult situation how did you overcome it? they always ask what you know about their company, make sure you give lots of detail on this. if its public based they will ask if you had a very abusive complaintant? how did you turn the situation around and calm it down? good luck! x

What interested you in my company, specifically. Everybody wants to know why they are being chosen. Did they make a great product, have they been in business a long time with good standing, and reputation.
Now is you're chance to give them a sincere complement, and really mean it!

you had to deal with a problem without assistance.
you had responsability for setting up a project.
you are proud of something you achieved.
you dealt with deadlines ... always say you ensure deadlines are met by giving yourself a deadline of a few days before the real deadline to allow for any last minute problems and that if problems occur you would contact your supervisor asap, they want to know you won't hide things!!
