Your guide to mastering BTN and becoming the one they can't ignore.

Getting Started

What is Become The Need (BTN)?
BTN is your AI-powered interview partner, built to help you prepare for behavioral interviews with precision. It transforms your real experiences into powerful, structured STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) stories that align directly with what hiring managers and executives want to hear.
How do I get started?
Upload your resume and paste a job announcement. BTN analyzes both to detect your career stage, sector, and industry. You'll confirm your top three skills, your "skills to showcase," and from there, the system helps you build, refine, and practice your STAR stories until they're ready for any interview.
Who is BTN for?
BTN is designed for professionals across all career stages, from recent graduates building their first stories to executives preparing for high-stakes interviews. The experience adapts dynamically to your level, industry, and leadership scope.

Using BTN

What is a STAR story, and why does it matter?
STAR is the framework behind every great behavioral interview response:
  • Situation: The context or challenge you faced.
  • Task: The goal, responsibility, or expectation placed on you.
  • Action: The steps you took, decisions you made, and methods you used.
  • Result: The measurable outcome or impact of those actions.
BTN uses this structure to turn your experience into stories that show, not just tell, your value.
How does BTN create STAR stories from my resume?
BTN's AI reads between the lines of your experience. It identifies achievements, leadership moments, and transferable wins that demonstrate how you think and act under pressure. Then it aligns those insights with core behavioral competencies so you can tell stories that sound strategic, confident, and authentic, not rehearsed.
What are the 13 behavioral competencies BTN focuses on?
BTN organizes your development around 13 key behavioral skills used by top employers and agencies: Conflict Resolution, Team Development, Inclusive Collaboration, Executive Presence, Leadership Style, Strategic Thinking, Decision Making Under Pressure, Competing Priorities, Process Improvement, Planning & Focus, Influence Without Authority, Stakeholder Management, and Organizational Awareness.
Can I build stories from scratch?
Yes, if BTN does not find a suitable example on your resume, or the examples provided are not what you want to highlight, you can always create a story from scratch. BTN will walk you step by step to build your story as it would if you had selected one of the examples provided.

Story Management

What is the Story Deck?
Your Story Deck is your interview arsenal. It holds every STAR story you've built, neatly organized by skill. From here, you can view, edit, export, or practice any story on demand.
What is the Skill Gallery?
The Skill Gallery is where you focus on depth. It shows every story you've built under a specific skill, your opportunity to refine, compare tones, and track growth in one area.
Can I adjust tone or style after a story is created?
Absolutely. BTN lets you instantly regenerate a story in different tones: confident, conversational, formal, or executive, so it matches the voice you want to bring to your interview.
How many stories should I build?
Aim for 2–3 per key skill. This gives you flexibility to adapt on the spot during interviews, without ever repeating yourself.

Practice & Feedback

How does the Practice feature work?
The Practice Mode turns your stories into real interview rehearsals. You'll record yourself answering simulated questions, then BTN's AI evaluates your response across five key dimensions: Clarity, Conciseness, Confidence, STAR Structure, and Alignment.

You'll receive a performance score, tailored feedback, and targeted tips to refine your delivery, all within seconds.
Are my recordings stored?
No. Your voice recordings are analyzed in real time and deleted immediately afterward. BTN never stores or reuses voice data.
Can I practice without recording?
Yes. You can still review your STAR story, see key highlights, and use BTN's guidance to refine your structure and tone before recording.

Data & Security

Is my data safe?
Yes. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. BTN does not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. You can review full details in the Privacy Policy.
How is AI used?
BTN uses OpenAI's GPT models to analyze your resume, generate STAR stories, and deliver feedback. Your data is processed securely and only used to enhance your experience.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting support.
