How to tell the story about the favorite project
the project you pick should have 3 points:
- the highest impact: it moves metrics
- the highest scope: it is technically complex, costs a long time or involves a lot of people
- the highest personal contribution: you build something with your own hands and have some opportunities to lead in a significant way
Deeper dive into the signal areas for behavioral interviews
- scope: tell the stories to show the interviewer how senior you are in your previous projects.
- initiative: prove you are a "self-starter" to have the willingness and skills to drive adoption of your ideas. And you can show your soft skills in the process.
- ambiguity: the structured approach to break down the large problems into smaller ones and prioritize the work.
- perseverance: how to deal with difficulties in previous projects and how to use the perseverance skills in the future.
- conflict resolution: show seniority to use structured approaches to resolving conflict. Maybe things like written documents or data-driven experiments.
- growth: show the ability to grow, to respond to circumstances around yourself, to seek after learning opportunities and successfully integrate those into our future actions. How to learn from the feedback.
- communication: the story you tell should always involve in communication. Show how to communicate with the workers around you.
