STAR method alone isn’t enough in your next interview. You need to add a “C” at the end. Welcome to the STARC method. Situation. Task. Action. Result. Connection. While STAR helps you share what you have achieved, Connection explicitly ties your achievement back to the job you’re interviewing for. This answers the “So what?” question. You’re showing the interviewer why this story matters to their team and goals. In your next interview, try STARC. It’s the difference between just a good answer And evidence on how you’ll add value to the team.

Not sure what questions to ask at the end of your interview? Fed up with not getting feedback afterwards? 👉 Kill two birds with one stone… When you’re asked, “Do you have any questions…” Try asking this: 🟢 “What is one thing I could have done today to have improved my interview?” You have a question to ask at the end of your interview, and you might also get some valuable feedback. A great question to ask towards the beginning of your interview is: 🟢 “Why did you invite me for an interview?” It can give you great insight into what they want to hear from you and allows you to lean on that and elaborate towards it in your answers to later questions.
