How to answer behavioral interview questions with the STAR Method?
​
​
Behavioral interview questions are more about your experiences, rather than you as a person.
For example, the interviewer could ask you to the following: Q: “Tell me about a time where you resolved a conflict at the workplace.”
The goal of this type of interview questions is to determine how you respond to specific issues or problems.
​
Anyone can say that they excel in a stressful environment. Not everyone, however, can back it up with a story or an experience.

•(A) Action - Explain the actions you took to complete the tasks.
•(R) Results - Explain what kind of results you achieved. When possible, mention numbers and quantifiable facts (“This improved sales” VS. “This improved cold lead response rates by 20%”)
