It is important to prepare stories from your past work experience for common behavioral and leadership questions ahead of time, using the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result). The Behavioral & Leadership Interview Prep Worksheet in Google Sheets includes many of the most popular questions, and working through it before your interviews is highly recommended. An Excel version is also available for offline use.
