I had a quick call and then was invited to a panel interview where I answered questions using the STAR method. The STAR method is an interview technique that gives you a straightforward format you can use to tell a story by laying out the situation, task, action, and result.
Situation: Set the scene and give the necessary details of your example.
Task: Describe what your responsibility was in that situation.
Action: Explain exactly what steps you took to address it.
Result: Share what outcomes your actions achieved.
By using these four components to shape your anecdote, it’s much easier to share a focused answer, providing the interviewer with “a digestible but compelling narrative of what a candidate did,”
