Free career skills tip: Two STAR stories under 2:00 each (step 13 of 16 from "Interview Answers That Land").

Run story 2 (36-hour vendor) and story 4 (warehouse lead) with a 2:00 timer. You should hit result by 1:40 so they can ask a follow-up. If you are still in Situation at 1:00, the setup is too long — cut the company history.

After each story, say out loud the question you just answered: 'That was conflict' or 'That was working under a deadline.' In the room they will not label it for you. If a story still needs the doc in your hand, it is not ready. Put the six titles on an index card: Bay C12 / Tape 36h / 40 tickets / Scan step / Dead spreadsheet / Why posting. That card can sit in your bag. A script in your lap on camera cannot.

You'll need

  • Two stories timed under 2:00
  • Result sentence includes a number
  • Index card of six titles only
