How to prepare for your next interview using the STAR method

The STAR interview method is a technique used to prepare for behavioral and situational interview questions. STAR stands for situation, task, action, and result. Hiring managers will ask behavioral interview questions to determine if you are the right fit for a job. This method will help you prepare clear and concise responses using real-life examples.

As you prepare for your next interview, review your resume and think about your best moments during your most recent professional or college experiences (internships, work experience, organizations/extracurricular activities, and group projects). Try to have examples roles or situations that relate to the program you applied to. How did you really stand out? Influence someone in a positive way? Drive a team to successful outcomes? Demonstrated learning agility? Be sure to have these experiences top of mind as you prepare for your interview.
