How to answer STAR method interview questions
Since the introduction of STAR method interviewing in the 1970s, the STAR method has actually become more widely known as a way of answering interview questions rather than asking them.
When using the STAR technique to answer questions, it helps to break down the “Situation or Task” stage into separate steps:
Situation: Briefly give the background to the example “story” you’re going to tell.
Task: Briefly describe the task you had to complete or the goal you had to achieve.
Action: Talk about what you did and why you decided to do it like that in a way that showcases the skill or skills specified in or implied by the question.
Result: Briefly describe the outcomes, focusing on positive results and what you learned.
