Interview Techniques

Master your next interview with practical tools and confident communication

Your CV gets you the interview. What happens next can shape your future. At Career Garage, we help you develop the skills, mindset and structure to show up prepared, clear and confident. Whether you are returning to interviews after a long time or want to improve how you come across in the room, our tailored approach helps you understand what employers are really looking for and how to communicate that in a way that feels natural to you.

The STAR Method Made Simple

We teach you how to use the STAR method to structure your answers in a way that highlights your experience clearly and professionally.

STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result, a powerful way to frame your experience so it is easy to follow, outcome-focused and relevant to the role. Many candidates either give too much background or not enough results. We help you strike the right balance so your answers show impact, not just activity.

You will learn how to choose the right examples, link them to the role and keep your answers focused without sounding rehearsed. This technique helps bring clarity to your story, keeps your answers on track and gives interviewers exactly what they need to move you forward.

Understand What the Employer Needs to See and Hear

Every interview is a two-way conversation, but most candidates forget that. We help you focus on what the employer is really trying to find out. From cultural fit to capability, we guide you in matching your answers to the key things the employer needs to see and hear in order to move you forward.

Sell Your Soft Skills with Confidence

Soft skills matter more than ever, especially when applying for roles with leadership, teamwork or communication elements. We help you identify your core soft skills and explain them in a way that feels grounded and authentic. With the right framing, your strengths will come through clearly.

Do the Right Research

We go beyond the basics. You will learn how to research the company, the website and even the interviewer, where possible, so you can tailor your answers, connect more meaningfully and show genuine interest. Being well informed is one of the simplest ways to stand out.

Turn It into a Two-Way Interview

Interviewing is not just about answering questions. We show you how to ask the right ones too. You will feel more confident asking thoughtful, relevant questions that demonstrate your curiosity, values and alignment with the role. It is your career, you should be part of the decision-making process.
