Behavioral stories that land

Prepare five to six stories before you walk in, each tuned to a different theme, each tight enough for ninety seconds, each landing on a number. Then you deploy the right one on demand instead of improvising under pressure.

STAR keeps you structured: Situation, Task, Action, Result. For this role the Action is where you live and the Result has to carry a metric, because the work itself is judged on whether the path got faster, cheaper or more reliable. A story that ends in “the team was happy” undersells you.
