So interviewees are supposed to read "how to interview" books to know that they should generate a STAR format answer? What does this have to do with being able to do a job?
- pquerna 10y agoI don't expect a candidate to have STAR response out of the box at all. I would ask each part of STAR, directly to the candidate. The goal is to actually understand what the candidate did, less what "we" did. - Tell me about a time there was a production outage? - What was your role in the team? Were you on call? - [ questions about what happened ] - How was it fixed? What was your part in this? - What did your team change afterwards? - How do you think about production outages now based on this one?
