STARs contributeto our overall outcome assessment plan.IntroductionCareer interviews for engineering students are evolving from interrogation sessions to structuredconversations. This evolution is facilitated by the proliferation of information technology thathas automated many of the previously manual tasks such as reviewing resumes and schedulinginterviews. This frees recruiters to spend more time networking and building relationships withjob candidates.1 The real impetus for this evolution is the realization that past behavior is thebest predictor of future performance.2 And after all, future performance is what any intervieweris trying to ascertain.This type of structured conversation, commonly referred to as Behavioral Based Interviewing
