      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at FDIC (New York, NY) in Nov 2023

      Interview

      Five behavioural questions that were best solved by the S T A R method. The STAR method is a structured technique for answering behavioral interview questions in a clear, concise, and impactful way. It stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result, and each element provides a specific piece of information that helps the interviewer understand your skills and experiences. Here's how to use the STAR method: Situation: Briefly describe the context of the situation you're going to talk about. Who were you working with? What was the overall goal or challenge? Task: Explain what your specific responsibility or goal was in that situation. What were you expected to achieve? Action: Describe the specific actions you took to address the situation. What did you do to overcome the challenge or achieve the goal? Be specific and focus on your own contributions. Result: Share the outcome of your actions. What was the impact of your work? Did you achieve your goal? Quantify your results whenever possible. Example: Tell me about a time you had to work under pressure. STAR Answer: Situation: I was working on a project for a client with a very tight deadline. The project was complex and required close collaboration with several team members. Task: As the project manager, my responsibility was to ensure that all tasks were completed on time and within budget, while also maintaining high quality standards. Action: I created a detailed project plan and assigned tasks to team members based on their strengths. I held regular meetings to track progress, identify and address any roadblocks, and keep everyone motivated. I also communicated proactively with the client to manage their expectations and ensure their satisfaction. Result: We successfully completed the project on time and within budget, exceeding the client's expectations. The client was very pleased with the outcome and praised our team's professionalism and efficiency. By using the STAR method, you can provide interviewers with clear and compelling examples of your skills and experiences, making you a more competitive candidate. Here are some additional tips for using the STAR method: Choose the right example: Select an example that is relevant to the job you are interviewing for and highlights the skills and qualities that the employer is looking for. Be concise: Each part of your STAR answer should be clear and concise, focusing on the key details. Quantify your results: Whenever possible, use numbers or data to quantify the impact of your actions. Practice your answers: The more you practice using the STAR method, the more comfortable and confident you will be in your interview.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at FDIC (Viejo San Juan, PR) in Nov 2023

      Interview

      Gotta finish an easy written assignment. Then an interview with 5 questions with a panel. It’s pretty easy and questions are more behavioral, they give you an unsaid score and that determines if you get an offer, from the three locations chosen.
