What is a STAR story?

STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result. It's a narrative format for behavioral interview answers: here's the context, here's what I specifically had to do, here's what I actually did, here's what happened. It's the format trained recruiters and interviewers score against.

How many stories should I have?

Aim for 8-12 strong stories covering different skills (leadership, conflict, ambiguity, technical call, customer save) and different outcomes (won, learned from losing, saved the bigger picture). Most interviews draw from a rotation of 6-8 stories per candidate.

Can I use Story Bank for cover letters, not just interviews?

Yes — that's the point. Cover Letter Pro reads your Story Bank and picks the most relevant story for each application. LinkedIn About sections pull from there too. Log once, use everywhere.

How does voice-to-STAR capture work?

You record a rambling voice memo (up to 60 seconds) of a story you remember. We transcribe it, then structure the transcript into Situation, Task, Action, Result. You edit before saving, and tags are applied automatically. It's a jobmentis-exclusive feature — no other career tool ships it.

Can I export my stories?

Yes. PDF export of your full Story Bank is available on the paid plan, formatted for coaching sessions or for handing to a recruiter-referral.
