This is something I think Amazon does well: their behavioral questions have a known format and prompt, and their recruiters tell you that and that you should practice.

At Amazon, the behavioral questions should be a STAR format response to prompts about Amazon leadership principles.

If you write down two STAR format stories to each principle, you’ll always have something to say for the behavioral questions. (Most stories hit several LPs, depending on what you emphasize. So it’s only a handful, total.)

I made flash cards for each story, so I could practice hitting the key points.
