In the evaluations for last month's session, one of you pointed out that using the S.T.A.R. Method would be a good technique for answering questions during an interview.
- SITUATION - give an example of a SITUATION you were involved in that resulted in a positive outcome
- TASK - describe the TASKS involved in that situation
- ACTION - talk about the various ACTIONS involved in the situation's task
- RESULTS - what RESULTS directly followed because of your actions
As an extension of that idea, it's also a good tip to use the S.T.A.R. method for your professional portfolio. For example, start by anticipating a question you might be asked in the interview for that career field. Then, think about an experience that answers that question. Try to describe the experience using the S.T.A.R Method. Write it down using the S.T.A.R method. You don't need to write down a long narrative; just write down enough to help jog your memory.
The S.T.A.R. Method is a way for you to effectively respond to behavioral interviewing.
