Behavioral interview guides
Six practical guides to the parts of a behavioral interview that practice tends to expose: structure, length, follow-ups, question fit, feedback and the stories themselves.
The STAR interview method
Keep the setup short and spend most of the answer on what you did and why.
Amazon interview story length
Day One Careers recommends 5–9 minutes for an opening story, with room for follow-ups.
Follow-up questions
What interviewers ask after your first answer, and how to rehearse for it.
Disagree and commit example
Show the challenge and the commitment, and make sure the story fits the exact question.
Behavioral interview feedback
Feedback you can act on points to your own words and names one thing to fix.
Preparing your stories
Choose true examples at the scope of the role, then rehearse them aloud.
Then try it out loud.
One behavioral question with follow-ups, about 10 minutes. Or read what interviewers listen for under each principle.
