It doesn't matter which framework to use. It matters to give a structure and don't ramble through a random story.

I have seen interviewers asking to provide the feedback "put stories in STAR format" before the interview just to be able to gather the information efficiently

Thanks, John! I wasn't aware of any of these frameworks, but they remind me of how I used to structure case studies for my company blog to give a better overview of how my services help clients.

Although I have never done a competency-based interview, I think the sales calls were close to that. When a future client asks you why they should spend their $50k on you instead of someone else, you better have all your competencies together. 😃

It's focused on system design rather than being general. I'm not familiar with it.
