About this track

Behavioral interviews decide many hiring outcomes, yet they are often the least prepared round. This track explains what interviewers assess, how to structure answers with STAR, and how to build a small bank of stories that covers the common questions: conflict, failure, leadership, and ambiguity. It finishes with asking good questions and evaluating and negotiating an offer. You won’t just read about it: you’ll draft your own stories, build your story bank and rehearse out loud in a timed mock interview.

Before you start
  • Some work, internship, or project experience to draw stories from.
  • Somewhere you can practice speaking out loud.
