⟩ What experience do you have delivering presentations or workshops? Tell us about your experiences working with diverse students. What would you do if you had worked with a student for a few sessions, but he or she never completed the out-of-session homework that you assigned? What techniques have you used to conduct labor market research? What are the first steps you take when advising students on their career path?
Experience-based questions asked me to consider how my previous experience related to the current position, and they formed the bulk of my interview questions. Just like I teach my students, I prepared for these questions by creating STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) stories about every task on the job description. To be clear, I did not write out my example stories word-for-word - at least not after that first interview - but I did write bullet points so that I wouldn't forget the key details.
