Interview Prep

Practice common interview questions with tips and the STAR method

The STAR Method

For behavioral questions
S
Situation
Set the scene. Where were you, what was happening?
T
Task
What was your responsibility in that situation?
A
Action
What specific steps did YOU take? (use "I", not "we")
R
Result
What was the outcome? Quantify it if possible.

Use the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result

General Interview Tips

1Research the company deeply before the interview — products, recent news, culture
2Prepare 5–7 STAR stories that you can adapt to different behavioral questions
3Always have 3 thoughtful questions ready to ask the interviewer
4Arrive or log in 10 minutes early. Test your camera and mic for video calls
5Send a thank-you email within 24 hours of the interview
6Practice out loud — answering in your head is very different from speaking
7Bring copies of your resume (in-person) or have it open on screen (virtual)
8Salary negotiation: always research ranges first. Never give a number first if you can help it
