STAR Interview Method

Interviews

Hiring managers ask behavioral interview questions to determine whether a candidate is the right fit for a job.

The STAR interview method is a technique that helps candidates prepare for interview questions that determine whether they will be able to handle specific situations associated with a job.

STAR stands for: situation, task, action and result. This method will help you prepare clear and concise responses using real-life examples.

By using this strategy, you can make sure you're fully addressing the interviewer's question while also demonstrating how you were able to overcome previous challenges and be successful.
