Why behaviorals are so tricky
The most common mistake: rambling, mixing stories, or failing to land the impact.
- You blank out when asked 'tell me about a conflict'.
- Your stories sound generic without metrics or impact.
- You confuse STAR with PAR and lose structure.
- Amazon Leadership Principles are 16 — impossible to map live.
