🔍 Common Mistakes in Targeted Interviewing
Targeted interviewing aims to assess a candidate’s past experiences to predict future performance. However, candidates often make the mistake of not preparing adequately for the types of questions asked. They may give vague answers or fail to provide concrete examples, diminishing their chances of success.

📊 Adapting the STAR Method for Remote Interviews
The STAR method, which stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result, is a popular technique for answering behavioral questions. In remote interviews, the STAR method can be adapted by focusing more on communication skills and remote collaboration tools. This ensures that the candidate not only answers the question effectively but also demonstrates their ability to work in a remote setting.
Inspired by: MIT’s article on Using the STAR method for behavioral interviews. The article breaks down the STAR method formula and provides tips for behavioral interviews.
