30 seconds of theory before you start
Actions without a result prove nothing. The R in STAR is what gets lost most: the candidate gets carried away with the process and the interviewer forgets to ask how it ended.
Strong questions
- «How did it end?»
- «How did you know it worked? How was it measured?»
- «What had changed a month later?»
The usual miss
Taking “it went well” as a result and moving on.
You're done when
You have the concrete outcome of the story: a number or change, the timeframe and how it was measured.
