Don't Use STAR in Your Next Interview (Do This Instead)!

STAR vs. CARL: What's the best behavioral interview method? In this video I compare the popular STAR answer method with the more comprehensive CARL answer format, share sample behavioral interview questions and answers, and end with a recommendation on when to use each method. The STAR behavioral interview method suffers from 2 limitations: (1) It allocates too much time for background information and not enough on your accomplishments, and (2) Doesn’t naturally incorporate your learnings as part of the answer prompts. Therefore, many interviewers find the STAR technique of interviewing a little bit robotic as candidates just seem to memorize answers and spit them out during the interview. With the CARL interview method, the “L” stands for “Learning” so you should really allocate more time on reflecting what your actions and results meant for future use cases (i.e. what if you faced a similar situation again, what would you do next time?) This is where the CARL interview framework really shines.
