Have a brag sheet, keep your supervisor (and possibly skip) up to date on it when you do your 1:1s ( https://www.careerfair.io/reviews/howtobragatwork )
Look at the types of stories you need to have ready when you get behavioral questions, make sure your brag sheet reflects those (Cracking The PM Interview, Decode and Conquer, Rocket Blocks).
Here are the usual buckets (from CTPMI), questions usually fall under one of these:
1. Leadership and Influence
2. Challenges
3. Mistakes and Failures
4. Successes
5. Teamwork

Keep a record of….
… whenever you start a new initiative or product, it’s purpose and quantified value to the company, what criteria you’re using to determine what to build first, challenges you’re experiencing with it
… how the outcomes or contribution of the product or feature map back to the decisions you made or the problems / issues you solved
… how you came up with new ideas, where your ideas came from, how you tried to validate them, what methods you used to communicate your idea(s), times when you were successful and unsuccessful in implementing an idea and why
… how you’re investigating problems with the product and or user experience
… how you’re dealing with difficult stakeholders, deciding between competing stakeholder priorities
… how you employed the services of other teams and team members to tackle a problem, new opportunity, etc… and the outcome
I like the brag sheet idea personally, and I think you've gotten some great ideas here. I would definitely think about ways to explain your thought process in more detail/critical thinking ability as well
