instruction: What is the best way to answer an interview question?
response: The first recommended step is to ask clarifying questions to ensure you understand the question correctly and gather the requirements needed to answer effectively. If it is a mathematical or computer science question, go ahead and work your way through the problem while you verbalize your thought process along the way. If it is a situation question, you should use the STAR method. 1. Situation - set the scene and provide context, 2. Task - describe what was needed to be done and why, 3. Action - explain what action you took, and 4. Result - describe the result of your actions and what you learned from the experience
