Behavior Based Interviews

Today I had a phone interview which I was really looking forward to because I was completely sold that the position fit well with my qualifications.  I actually spent time preparing for this interview however, thinking of potential questions they may ask and comparing my resume and skill set to what the position was looking for.  I was presented with my nemesis the Behavioral Based interview.  You just never really know if you are giving the right answers to the questions.  I don't really know but I gave the best answers I could to the questions and hopefully my skills will shine through.  To be honest I really want this position not because I am desperate for a job but simply because I really like what the position is about.  So we will see what the results are.  I am extremely nervous though because after the interview she said that I could potentially have another interview like the one I had this morning.  I suppose though the more you do them the more comfortable you get with that style of interviewing.  I don't really know if there are any keys tips to this type of interviewing style but I do know that within your story you should be descriptive and really express the high points that direct back to the job at hand.  As I wait for the result of this experience this morning I will continue to plug away applying for other interesting positions.
