STAR answer builder

How to use it

Aim for about 90 seconds, which is roughly 200 words at a natural pace. If the meter turns red, the usual fix is to trim the Situation to one sentence and let the Action carry the answer. Then hit the clock and say it out loud. Saying it beats reading it, every time. When you are ready for the full run, take it to the practice simulator, and see the STAR method on a one-way interview for more.
