What does STAR stand for in an interview?
“Situation, Task, Action, Result. You describe the context, what you were responsible for, the steps you took, and what happened as a result.”
View in the company profileCan I use the STAR method for "Tell me about yourself"?
“Not as the main structure. "Tell me about yourself" is better answered with present, past and future in about a minute. You can include one short STAR-style achievement in the middle.”
View in the company profileHow many STAR stories should I prepare?
“About eight for a full interview loop, five or six for a single round. Each should be flexible enough to answer three or four different questions.”
View in the company profileWhat if I do not have an example for a behavioral question?
“Say so briefly and offer the closest real example: "I have not had exactly that situation; the closest was…". Do not invent one. For entry-level roles, projects, volunteering and part-time work all count.”
View in the company profileCan I use the same story twice in one interview?
“Avoid it if you can, because it suggests a narrow range of experience. If you have to, use it for a different skill and acknowledge it.”
