How to answer these: the STAR method

Use the STAR method: describe the Situation, the Task you faced, the specific Action you took, and the measurable Result. Aim for 60-90 seconds with one concrete metric. Practice it out loud before the interview so it flows naturally; the same structure works for every question above.
