Behavioral Interview Prep (STAR Method)

Help me prepare for behavioral interview questions using
the STAR method.

Target role: [JOB TITLE]
Target company: [COMPANY NAME]
Key competencies from the job posting: [LIST 3-5 COMPETENCIES
LIKE "LEADERSHIP," "PROBLEM SOLVING," "COLLABORATION"]

My experiences to draw from:
1. [BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIENCE/PROJECT 1]
2. [BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIENCE/PROJECT 2]
3. [BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIENCE/PROJECT 3]

For each of these common behavioral questions, help me
build a STAR response:
1. "Tell me about a time you led a team through a challenge"
2. "Describe a situation where you had to deal with conflict"
3. "Give an example of when you failed and what you learned"
4. "Tell me about a time you had to influence without authority"
5. "Describe a situation where you had to make a decision
    with incomplete information"

For each response:
- Situation: Set the scene (2-3 sentences)
- Task: What was your specific responsibility?
- Action: What did YOU do? (Be specific, use "I" not "we")
- Result: What was the outcome? (Include metrics if possible)
- Keep each response under 2 minutes when spoken
