Interview help

The STAR method

S for Situation: Set the scene in one or two sentences: where, when, what was going on.
T for Task: What were you specifically responsible for? Not the team. You.
A for Action: The steps you actually took. This is the part interviewers weight most. Be concrete.
R for Result: What happened, ideally with a number or outcome. If you learned something, say that too.

Common interview questions

Tell me about a time something went wrong on a job: what happened and how did you fix it?
Describe a time you disagreed with a supervisor or coworker. How did you handle it?
Why are you looking to leave your current role?
Tell me about a time you had to learn something new quickly.
How do you handle a customer or client who's upset?
What's a mistake you made and what did you change afterward?

General tips

Bring 2-3 specific stories you can adapt to different questions. Most behavioral questions are really asking for the same handful of themes (a mistake, a conflict, a win, a fast learn).
Research the company's recent jobs/reviews on Kareer Score itself before you go in. It's a fast way to sound informed about what they actually value.
Arrive (or log on) 10 minutes early. For on-site/job-site interviews, treat the parking lot and hallway as part of the interview.
Prepare 2-3 questions to ask them. "What does success in this role look like after 90 days?" works almost everywhere.
