Career
The Career section has two tabs: Applications and STAR Stories.
Applications
Track every job you've applied to so nothing falls through the cracks.
What you can track per application
- Company name and role
- Application status — Applied / OA / Phone Screen / Onsite / Offer / Rejected
- Date applied
- Notes (recruiter contact, next steps, deadlines)
Why it matters
Most people apply to 30–50 companies during a job search and lose track of where they stand. Keeping everything in one place means you always know:
- Which companies are due for a follow-up
- Where you're at in each pipeline
- Which stages you're getting stuck at (useful for adjusting prep focus)
STAR Stories
Build a bank of behavioral answers in the Situation → Task → Action → Result format so you're never caught off guard in a behavioral round.
Structure of a STAR story
| Field | What to write |
|---|---|
| Tag | Theme — leadership, conflict, ownership, failure, collaboration, etc. |
| Title | One-line summary of the story |
| Situation | What was the context? What was at stake? |
| Task | What were you specifically responsible for? |
| Action | What did you do? Be specific — use "I", not "we" |
| Result | What was the measurable outcome? |
How to use it
- After any significant project or incident at work/school, add a story while the details are fresh
- Tag it with all relevant themes it could answer
- Before an interview, filter by the company's focus (Amazon → ownership/bias for action; Google → leadership/collaboration) and review
- Practice saying each story out loud — 90 seconds max
Starter stories
The app pre-loads a few template stories to show you the format. Replace them with your own.
Tip: Aim for 8–10 stories that cover different themes. Most behavioral interviews only ask 4–6 questions, so a bank of 10 covers nearly any combination.
