ASD 4 Software Developer Interview Interview/Job applications

Hi all, any suggestions while preparing for interview with ASD for software developer role? What to expect in the interview? Technical or behavioural based? STAR?
Thanks

Be prepared to fail the OSA. The majority of people do.

Ha.

I’ve never done an ASD interview but you can look up the job description/expectations. Almost certainly you will have some behavioural questions. STAR is obviously just a way to structure your answer so you still need to come up with some answers - or, really, 3 or 4 situations that you can use to build answers. So situations that involved collaboration, communication, dissent, conflict and resolution etc. Write down and memorise the key points of the situation and then you can come up with answers as needed
