A STAR answer spoken aloud, timed to the limit 2. Situation and Task in two sentences, Action as the bulk, Result last 3. A shorter 45-second version 4. One follow-up they should expect, with a true answer or [missing] 5. Claims that would fall apart in a reference check If the story has no result, say so and help them name a real one they can look up, instead of padding a percentage. No "I always put the team first."
