Description
Episode 89 of Interview Prep with Fexingo digs into a subtle but critical flaw in how most candidates use the STAR method. Lucas and Luna explain why telling a story that is too polished can actually hurt your chances, reveal the single behavioral prompt hiring managers wish candidates would prepare for instead, and share a simple two-step framing trick from a real Google hiring session. If you've been memorizing answers for the 'Tell me about a time…' questions, this episode will help you sound like an actual human being in the room.
