Many people are told to use the STAR method when answering interview questions. In the video above, J.T. explains why you shouldnât use this method, and what you should use instead.
When answering interview questions, you should sound authentic and confident. The STAR method doesnât always allow for that, and can make you sound like a robot. Thatâs why we like to use the Experience + Learn = Grow model instead. This model allows you to tell an authentic story, while also answering the question correctly.
J.T. believes interview prep is the most important part of the job search process. Your interview answers can either make or break your chance at getting a job. And most of the time people arenât spending enough time on their interview prep.
A job search career coaching platform like Work It DAILY can not only teach you how to prep for an interview, but can also hold you accountable for your interview prep.
