I have provided two written interview questions that you can use to practice writing in STAR
format. Using STAR stories that you have already come up with, the prompt will help you
structure your answer.
Some people communicate better in writing, while others communicate better verbally and many
companies will give you an opportunity to do both.
Essentially, the written and oral versions are similar in their purpose: to answer the interview
question in a powerful and concise way. When writing you can’t use the timbre and pitch of your
voice nor your hand gestures to emphasize parts of your story, so you’ll have to be more explicit
in explaining the context and impact of your actions.
You will craft a written response that is no more than four pages; typical responses are about
two pages.
Clarity of thought and expression (i.e., did you explain your point well?)
Organization and structure (i.e., does it flow? does it make sense?)
Guidelines:
1. Please respond in narrative form and limit the use of bullets/outline form.
3. Please clearly indicate the question you have selected at the top of your response.
4. Please do not include any confidential or proprietary information.
After finishing your written response exercise, use the following tools and apps to make your
writing flow smoother, more concise, and easier to read.
2. What is the most inventive or innovative thing you’ve done? It doesn’t have to be
something that’s patented. It could be a process change, product idea, a new metric or
customer facing interface – something that was your idea. It cannot be anything your current or
previous employer would deem confidential information. Please provide us with context to
understand the invention/innovation. What problem were you seeking to solve? Why was it
important? What was the result? Why or how did it make a difference and change things?
