Instructional design interviews can be stressful and anxiety-inducing, and how you respond to the questions during the interview can make the difference between getting the job and spending months or years on the job market.
In this video, we explore an in-depth instructional design interview preparation process, specifically using the STAR method.
Studying the content of your resume and researching the companies you’re applying for are great strategies, but there’s a lot more that you can be doing to help connect the dots for a hiring manager between your past experience and the needs and demands of the role.
The STAR method is a technique for answering behavioral interview questions and is an acronym for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. By using the STAR method, you can clearly and concisely articulate your past experiences and achievements in a way that demonstrates your skills and fit for the role.
Follow along as we walk through how to effectively use the STAR method to prepare for your instructional design interview, including examples and tips. Grab the interview question response template to make sure you’re ready for your next interview!

@@DevlinPeckYT Hi Devlin! My interview went well and I was able to make it to the final phase to present deliverable to a panel. I was wondering if you can create a video in the future to train people how to approach presentations? I always seem to make it to this phase but never land the offer. Also, what software are you using to create presentation in this video. Is it still storyline? Thanks!
Your doing gods work Devlin

Thanks Devlin! I almost thought the best prep for these ID interviews was to choose a weapon because it’s like the Hunger Games out here lol

Hi, Devlin! Like you said, I heard that the STAR method would be used for behavioral questions (ie. "What would you do when...", "Tell me a time when...", "Have you encountered...", etc). Do you still recommend STAR method for *all* interview questions? I ask because your example here is not a behavioral question (What is your favorite ID learning theory?). Thank you!

Devlin, recently I covered my office wall with STAR-type answers prepping for an Amazon interview. The company had given me a link to a video tutorial about the STAR Method at Amazon. When I explained my STAR prep to the hiring manager, she cut me off and simply said, "We don't use that anymore." I never preplan any interview, outside of basics such as industry and training functions (sales, technical, etc.), and I carefully study the Hiring Manager's LinkedIn profile. During the interview, I never answer questions directly. Instead, I answer a question with a question to start a dialog. Q: "Tell me a little about your background in instructional systems design." A: "So I can focus my experience on what you need, can you tell me the top 1-2 traits you are looking for in this ID position?" Continue with Q&A until the end, and ask this question, which seems negative but actually works to allow you to address any objections. Q: (Hiring Manager) "Do you have any more questions for me?" A: (Candidate) "Just one, please. In our interview have you heard anything that indicates that I may NOT be the ideal candidate for the position?" You would be surprised what comes up, giving you an opportunity to address any hidden objections and close the position in your favor.
