What is the STAR method and how long should an answer be?
Answer
- Situation: context in 1-2 sentences.
- Task: your responsibility or goal.
- Action: what YOU did, in detail (use 'I', not 'we'). This is ~60% of the answer.
- Result: measurable outcome + what you learned.
- Aim for 1.5-2 minutes. Prepare 6-8 stories you can adapt to many questions.
