This was a great video & reminder, Chandoo! Especially the reminder to not be too hard on ourselves. Loved the family guest stars! Thanks for the virtual mentorship!

[FGirao]

Your channel is a gold finding. Every video I get more impressed!!

[kurrysamir]

Super Awesome video, the point that we work alot to say in the interviews but it's much better when we could show the work and talk more on that. Makes a lot of sense to me.

[adityajain]

Top Notch Content, thanks for sharing these insights! All your videos are just perfectly edited and to the point. :)

Flexibility is a sticky point. I think being upfront is important. Honestly depends on your circumstances. Especially harder when you are a woman with a young family. Fortunately one good thing from COVID is flexible working hours and location so now it does make it a bit easier.

I’ve always used STAR, but now something more to use. Thanks for the Triangle idea. New one for me.

STAR concept is very useful. I have been using it unknowingly during meetings with prospective customers. However, I never knew about this terminology. I know about SMART goals though.

[silvana]

brilliant stuff Chandoo and your family contributions ... I had a year secondment offer and my option given was Chennai :D - Yes I used STAR - really focusing on the outcome the benefits that were realised. After every interview the first thing i would do is write down all the questions i was asked to learn from experience. My CV is written in an achievement style similar to STAR answers but condensed .
