Pinstripe | Make your TMAAT stories ‘Interview Ready”

Focusing on specific examples, not opinionated generalisations, will give you the edge in interviews

TMAAT stands for ‘Tell Me About a Time’ and is the most common form of job interview question. That mystery is solved. Job seekers — from doctors to airline pilots and sales reps to surf lifesavers — are all asked these questions. In the aviation industry, it’s the ‘go-to’ style of interview question. You might also call them an ‘example’ question. As a group, they are part of a behavioural-style interview.

I speak to candidates regularly lamenting that TMAAT questions are a waste of time or a game hirers play. You might think you hate them, but let me assure you, TMAAT is the most effective way to answer most job interview questions. It is a format that, once mastered, will help your confidence levels and delivery to surge. I aim to change your mind about them.
