The stories interviewers ask for: ownership, conflict, failure, ambiguity and impact, told in STAR.
Tell me about a time you were handed a task with very little guidance on what "done" looked like. How did you work out what to build?
Tell me about a time two people each told you their request was urgent, you could not do both straight away, and it was not obvious which mattered more. How did you decide what to do first?
Tell me about a time you started a task and discovered it was much bigger or quite different from what everyone had assumed. What did you do with that discovery?
Tell me about a problem you were asked to fix where nobody could tell you clearly what was going wrong. How did you narrow it down?
Tell me about a time you had to make a decision on your own because the person who would normally decide was unavailable and waiting was costly.
Tell me about a time you had more work than you could finish and had to decide what to leave undone. What did you drop or defer, and how did you choose?
