technique to answer interview questions.
The STAR interview technique is an interview method that we can use to prepare for
interview questions. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. 
Because we cannot expect what the interviewers will ask in reality as it depends on the
situation. So all the things we can do is making a list of skills and experience that suitable for

the job and how effective it is. However, the most important thing is that we have to make
sure that all the skills, experiences, and examples must be related to the position we apply for.
