Do you struggle to give concise answers to interview questions? Are you unsure how to sell yourself during an interview without sounding boastful?

The STAR method can help!

Impressing at a competency-based interview is all about the way you tell your story, so it is particularly important to prepare for this sort of interview.

This interview response technique offers a straightforward format you can use to answer behavioral interview questions — those prompts that ask you to provide a real-life example of how you handled a certain kind of situation at work in the past.

The STAR method is a structured manner of responding to interview questions by discussing the specific Situation, Task, Action, and Result of the situation you are describing. This technique helps you create an easy-to-follow story with a clear conflict and resolution.
