Quality Engineer Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
The vast majority of tech companies utilize behavioral interviews, favoring the S.T.A.R. (Situation, Task, Approach, Result) response. Rocking a S.T.A.R. interview is easy if you know what to expect but can be intimidating if you don’t. Even if you have the right qualifications, poor delivery on behavioral interviews can cost you the job (I speak from experience—yikes). But, after developing a simple template that helps frame my strengths and experiences to suit specific job requirements, I’ve consistently received positive feedback on my content and delivery—and gotten jobs I wanted. After defining what a behavioral/STAR interview is, I will teach you how to break down a job description to anticipate the questions that may be asked for your specific job, arm you with a template to practice your answers, and provide practical tips for feeling poised in front of your interview panel.
Learning Objectives:
Describe what to expect from a behavioral interview.
Develop work, volunteer, and educational experiences into concise answers that effectively highlight your strengths as they relate to different job descriptions.
Deliver answers to STAR interview questions confidently.
