Quick tip: how do you prepare?

Invest at least 50% of your time into role-play. Examples of behavioral questions are plenty, so is advice on how to answer them.

Most common mistake?

Confirmation bias. When you prepare without prior experience in behavioral interviewing, with little or no feedback, and you think you're doing great.
