3:00 me thinking my computer just died.
Same
Waiting for pop up ad
I thought it was symbolism for me blanking on that part
This hit me hard because my computers been bluescreening and hard shutting down recently... not because it's breaking down or anything, I just do too much to the poor thing, really should stay out of bios for a bit
I thought my phone went off
I'm a 22 year HR Veteran, specifically Recruiting. I have been using the STAR method for the majority of my career. I would recommend sharing situations that demonstrate results, diversify examples with current/previous employers, and ensure you display collaboration with team and partnership with stakeholders. This was great video that was simple to understand!
@@JJGal That's your opinion. I've hired and developed a lot of talent who are the best leaders today with Fortune 500 companies. But hey keep saying it's a stupid method. Haha
@@JJGal For the record, I've hired the right people clearly that grow and show high potential next level work.
4:52 "It was intense pressure, but I immensely enjoyed it." Right... sure you did.
I've got an interview tomorrow for a job as a Data Analyst, I don't really have any directly relevent skills, but it's an upskill within the company, so I have plenty of examples from within my current role as well as my studies at university, this will hopefully be my first foray into the tech industry, so hopefully it goes well and I can start making use of this degree before I even have it.
Interviews now are bananas. I have to have an AI proofread my cover letter and SEO it for keywords, I have to put up with questions like "What makes you a thought leader?", endure four such sessions with various company members (unpaid) and that's only if the company doesn't just ghost you from the get-go. It's a miracle that anyone is employed.
Thank you.
Funny how they keep asking about "leadership" while your job is basically doing excel sheets and click on buttons 90% of your time, and you will not be promoted to be a lead in the next decade if at all.
Thank you for making this video. That is the most comprehensive and clear video i have watched on the STAR method. I have saved it and will definitely share it. Thank you again, it has answered all the pending questions i had about the technique.
Thanks for putting this together. I have quite a lot of experience as the interviewer, having hired several dozen people over the years, but I have recently decided to find a new job and realized I haven’t been the interviewee for over a decade. No matter how much experience you have, it’s always best to over prepare. All the best,
Thanks, and best of luck finding a new position.
@@epm8805 Accepted a job two weeks ago and my first day on the new job is Monday
@@SignalCorps1 Thanks for reporting back. That's great news - congratulations!
This tutorial was very helpful. Thank you!
Quality content. Fantastic explanation. Super easy to understand! Thank you
Help me with my confidence level a bit more watching this. I have anxiety issues as it is, but with interviews; my anxiety is even more worse. Especially, when I start sweating which is all I can focus on is please don't see the sweat roll down my face. Haha. I have a video interview tonight I'm planning to do and next week will be doing an in-person interview which will be a panel interview with 2 to 3 people..
This was absolutely great! thank you
This is an awesome video, thank you for explaining it in such an understandable way.
Thank you! This was invaluable.

Helpful tips. Thank you
Outstanding content...Thank you!
Hi, Thanks for share this video. Video content is very crystal clear. I faced some issues but i completed. But now i am very clear about how to explain by STAR method. Lot thanks . Surlely i will post my experience later.
Thank you , great tips, I have some interviews coming up.
Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the video, very useful information.
thanks i actually enjoyed it while eating my cup noodles in the morning. i just watched the video and wont be on any interview yet anytime soon, all of my interviews before this video were using merely my brain, logic, and what could i think about at that occassion
Awesome video !
thanks for creating this video.
I am a startup CEO. And with my 25 year industrial experience, i do consultancy to corporates.
I have different scenarios like talking with different stakeholders I meet in daily life. Include employees, potential Investors, even family members from villages.
I get genuine open ended questions. Sometimes hard to answer in their vocabulary and context.
This method is good. I think for each major case-studies in life. To me, and most startup founders, the case-study one going on, will be important.
Once again thanks a lot for your video. And especially asked to share our stories.
👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
This was an incredibly helpful presentation. I am preparing for an interview with the state of California, who uses the STAR method. I did not land the first job I interviewed for with the state, I believe because I had not prepared scenario questions such as those discussed. Thank you for making the STAR process easy to navigate!
My pleasure - best of luck for your interview!
Great content. Thank you
Thank you.
Great video! Simple interview preparation tactic which is constantly overlooked and forgotten, and even I am surely guilty of this, thanks! Fingers crossed when I use this...
Thank you sir
What about if I don’t have experience in one of the behavioural questions. Do you make up a fake scenario on the spot?
It was great and amazing result
excellent method
great great .. i LOVE IT
Thank you so much I used this video for my interview and it went really well!!
Woo hoo! Congratulations 😀
Good one.
A good idea is to use the complete job description and summarize it down into points. Take your experince and knowledge that adapts to the duties and responsibilities.
Thanks
Knowledge supports growth & development.
thank u
So, what I don't understand about this STAR method is: what does it tell the employer? Because if I ask you one of these questions and you reply with one of these prepared canned comments, all it tells me is that you're a good bullshitter and you did some preparation before the interview memorizing answers. Wouldn't it be better to have a casual conversation with someone where you actually get to know them instead of asking gotcha questions and receiving preprepared BS answers?
I totally agree with your. But thats the order of the day anyway. the world will continue making us dull!
This method is preparation part. In the actual scene, it will give you organized thoughts when a similar scenario needed explanation. One important point which seems to be missing is the video is about an actual scenario. However, to me that seems to be obvious.
This is same when you deliver a keynote address kind of stuff for a conference. Good rehearsal will give you flow of organized thoughts. Exact words are always improper and the audience will not like our delivery as it is not natural. So, you interact and continue your presentation in an organized way. Clarity of expression or modulation etc also important. So, a good preparation will give amble time and reduce stress. But just don’t mimic the exact words. Thanks for this thought provoking excellent comment.
Agreed
I had to do this type of interview recently and I thought it was the dumbest method ever. They expect you remember every detail about every scenario you’ve been in, and how you handled them within a short time frame. Some people simply don’t have good memory
Going to have an interview in a couple of hours! Stay tuned! : ]
Passed or nah?
7:02 "you're" not "your"in point 2. I'm an English teacher so it's ok for me to correct spelling. Great video, thanks.
Thanks! 😃
Yay
Between 03:01-03:08 both video's audio & visual cuts out temporarily
End the end it comes down to whether they like you in the first 5 minutes of the interview. Even if you give awesome STAR answers.😕
you're*
7:35 It's "you're"!
Op
Nowadays, you memorise these and give a brain dump at the interview. Sound good? Selected.
This is more millennial or gen-whatever garbage. My generation and many decades thereafter judged a candidate on their skills and experience .. not some scripted exercise whilst smiling thru their teeth telling fables and falsehoods.
This video supports the fact that hiring is a shiteshow, with interviewers expecting candidates to be perfect and scripted. I equate this to speed dating where EVERYONE LIES just to get into bed.
It's a shame that the burden is placed on the candidate who is already drowning in the massive pool of job searchers (eg: job posted 35 min ago has 435 applicants per indeed). The people posting the jobs and/or doing the hiring don't appear to answer to any scrutiny. The majority of job reqs contain grammatical errors, spelling typos, repeated bullets (in some cases, three times the exact same requirement spread out across 20 bullets). It's a hot mess but no one's holding them accountable.
Another example was a Zoom interview with 5 people asking tech questions that they were reading from the internet, stumbling over the tech terms and unable to clarify due to self-professed lack of understanding! "We merely ask the questions and write down your answers then fwd that to the hiring mgr." WTF?!
Another example - the job req is a proverbial laundry list, spanning 4 pages .. but MY resume can not be a hair over 1-2 pages or it won't be considered?!
Job screenings are wreckless while candidates are looked at under a microscope. It's ludicrous, at best.
The system is irrevocably broken and corporations don't give a shite.
Yeah this didn't really help sorry
Not that hard bro 💀
