Story bank: STAR for IT ownership

The behavioral session and the deep-dive on your past work both run on stories. Walk in with a bank tuned to the themes this role grades, each tight enough to tell in ninety seconds, each landing on a number. Then you deploy the right one instead of reaching for whatever surfaces.

Eight stories cover the surface area for this loop. You won't tell all eight, but having them ready means you're never caught flat by a prompt. At least two of them must show you reaching for code by default, because that's the value most likely to be probed and the easiest to fake.
