Publisher's summary

The STAR interview method is used by millions of people all around the world to answer interview questions and tell stories. Fortune 500 companies (Amazon included) recommend using the STAR method to answer behavioral questions. Whether you’re just starting your job search, already interviewing with a company, or looking for a different way to stand out - there are a dozen different ways you can incorporate the technique into your life. But it’s not just about interviewing. Any time you present yourself verbally or in written format, doing it in a narrative/story format will open people's ears. So if any (or all) of these apply to you, then you can use STAR to help you with all the following:

• Looking for a job
• Interview preparation for a full time or part time job
• Getting yourself noticed as a freelancer
• Finding consulting gigs
• Trying to get an internal transfer
• Writing a badass LinkedIn profile
• Making a great blog, portfolio, or content to present yourself
• Networking

I’ve helped thousands of people in their job searches and hundreds of (small and large) companies find the right people for their teams. The STAR method has remained a consistent and useful technique throughout.

In a day and age when we are all trying to be heard, it is more relevant today than ever before.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

awesome interview strategy book

not just for interviews. it can be used for essays, white papers and presentations. love the examples

Last Moment Life saver

I did knew about STAR format for quite a while now, and had been giving my interviews through the same techniques, but this book gave me an extra edge, it actually explains what all stuffs you need to add to make your story telling compelling, it actually gives you the way how to be more enthusiastic, attractive and what are the ways you can generate interest for your stories to be heard.

It's definitely worth reading as it helps you a lot, in storytelling.

most importantly it's worth your time spend, you will not regret even for a second.

good overview but not for aws

was a good overview but examples mostly for just out of college. found the scenarios unrealistic for aws interview in high tech. worth the download but seemed more for amazon business divisions.

Very good Interview Prep Material

I am looking for a job in Industrial Engineering, and I do not have much interview experience because I landed the previous jobs without much pain. However, this time, I am aiming for some specific jobs and I want to be able to present myself better in the interview. As a Job seeker, I should prepare in advance by practicing to increase the probability of my consideration. So, I went online and looked for books that would help me prepare for the STAR interview. I found this audio book my Misha Yurchenko on Audible and it provided me with detailed information on how to answer each section of the STAR. The book is provided with additional resources and templates that helped me a great deal. I haven't taken the interviews yet, but I will go back here and complete the 'impact' part of my story. Glad I was able to write this review in STAR format! Thank you, Misha.

Great Story Telling!

Very well explained and easy to understand. I liked the structured approach in explaining the STAR technique.

very boring

very boring sound like a robot, put me to sleep all the time shiul be a sleeping book.

Repeats from his other book

I read Hacking the Amazon Interview, and he basically pulls a few chapters from that and makes a new book out of it.
