Choose the Right Stories

Strong STAR answers begin before the interview. Pick examples that match the role's responsibilities, seniority and working environment.

  • One story about solving a difficult problem.
  • One story about influencing stakeholders.
  • One story about improving a process or outcome.

Keep the Result Clear

The result is what makes your answer memorable. Use numbers, decisions, feedback or business outcomes where you can.
