- 01
Define what STAR Story Bank needs to accomplish
Translate the role into the capabilities the interviewer is likely testing. Note what the company needs solved, not just the qualifications listed.
- 02
Select and structure your evidence
Choose specific examples that show your judgment, actions, collaboration, and results. Write the context briefly and make your own contribution unmistakable.
- 03
Prepare the likely questions
Draft concise answers for motivation, role fit, strengths, setbacks, and role-specific scenarios. Add one question that demonstrates informed curiosity.
- 04
Practice out loud
Run timed answers without reading. Review the recording or ask a partner to note clarity, filler, missing results, and places where the answer wandered.
- 05
Prepare the logistics
Confirm time zones, location or link, names, materials, technology, and arrival buffer. Put the final questions and examples where you can review them calmly.

Immediately record what was asked, what you answered, and what you still need to clarify. Send a concise follow-up when appropriate.
