Behavioral interviews are 10x harder than tech rounds, how do you even prepare for them?

I’m feeling super stuck right now. Leetcode? Sure. System design? Plenty of resources. But when it comes to behavioral interviews… I freeze. I either sound too rehearsed or ramble into nothingness.

I’m feeling super stuck right now. Leetcode? Sure. System design? Plenty of resources. But when it comes to behavioral interviews… I freeze. I either sound too rehearsed or ramble into nothingness. How are people preparing for the “Tell me about a time” stuff? Especially those vague ones like: * Tell me about a time you failed. * What’s your leadership style? * How do you resolve conflict? I have tried STAR technique but I forget it during the interviews.
