How Do You Use the STAR Method in Blockchain Interviews? (Heard This on a LinkedIn Webinar)

I feel STAR method works best when you keep it simple and actually tell the story, not just list out steps. In my last blockchain interview, I used an example about rolling out a cross-chain feature where things almost went sideways—basically shared what happened, what I was supposed to do, how I handled a last-minute bug, and what changed because of it. There is not need to stress about ticking every “STAR” box, just made sure I explained my thinking and what I learned.

I think people sometimes get too hung up on the “right” kind of soft skills—just show what you did as a team player or when stuff didn’t go as planned. If you don’t have exact numbers, say what impact you saw (maybe the launch was on time, or user complaints dropped). Also, talking about why the work mattered to you personally seems to land well—like sharing how you got into blockchain, or what excites you about building in web3. Bottom line: don’t overthink it, just talk through the experience like you would with a colleague. That’s worked for me way more than any perfect script.
