STAR Interview Method for Product Designers

The STAR interview method is a technique used to answer behavioral interview questions.

STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result.

This method is used by many employers to assess how well a candidate has handled specific situations in the past, as a predictor of how they may handle similar situations in the future.

After being laid off, I went through numerous job interviews. I found it helpful to organize my answers to the interviewers' many questions using the STAR method.

In this post, I will help you to organize good answers to prepare for product design interviews with STAR method.
