Reframes the STAR interview technique to lead with the result before justifying it, rather than opening with situation and context, so the interviewer stays engaged from the first sentence.
The STAR method is a heavily recommended interview techbique, and almost everybody uses it badly. You open with the situation, you set the context, you explain the task, and somewhere around the ninety-second mark you finally get to the result. By which point the interviewer has switched off. It is not that your answer was bad. It is that you buried the part they care most about.
This video flips it. The method is RAOS: Result, Action, Obstacle, and Situation (only if they ask for it). You lead with what you achieved, then explain what you personally did, and then, crucially, the obstacle that made it hard. Delivering a project on time is unremarkable. Delivering it on time after losing half your team is a different story entirely, and the obstacle is what turns a result from lucky into capable.
You will watch Emma answer the same question twice, once the old way and once with RAOS, and the difference is impossible to miss. You will also get the three mistakes that ruin a good answer, the thirty-second rule for the opening, and the one situation where traditional STAR is still the right choice.
