Tips and resources to prepare for Behavioral interviews.
A markdown document masquerading as a repo. It's a single README with ~20 behavioral interview questions, each answered with a polished STAR-format story told from the perspective of a fictional software developer named 'I'. Useful as a starting template if you've never thought about behavioral prep before.
The STAR breakdown is clearly explained with a concrete before/after example showing how vague answers become structured ones. The question coverage hits the standard Amazon LP-style questions most engineers will actually face. The interview preparation grid idea (borrowed from Cracking the Coding Interview) is the most actionable thing here — a spreadsheet mapping your real projects to common question categories beats memorizing someone else's stories.
Every single sample answer is a generic fictional story from 'a tech startup' or 'Company X' with suspiciously round numbers (30% improvement, 20% increase) — they're templates, not examples you can learn from. There's no content for company-specific prep (Amazon LPs, Meta values, Google's structured scoring), which is where most preparation time actually goes. The repo is essentially a static document; nothing here justifies it existing on GitHub rather than a blog post. No updates in months and the 8k stars suggest it spread virally once and hasn't been meaningfully improved since.
