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

FieldWhat to write
TagTheme — leadership, conflict, ownership, failure, collaboration, etc.
TitleOne-line summary of the story
SituationWhat was the context? What was at stake?
TaskWhat were you specifically responsible for?
ActionWhat did you do? Be specific — use "I", not "we"
ResultWhat was the measurable outcome?

How to use it

  1. After any significant project or incident at work/school, add a story while the details are fresh
  2. Tag it with all relevant themes it could answer
  3. Before an interview, filter by the company's focus (Amazon → ownership/bias for action; Google → leadership/collaboration) and review
  4. 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.
