Resource Fridays
Written By Carole-Ann Penney, Founder

In a job interview, they ask you to "Tell us about a time when..."

Instead of rambling or worrying that you've given too much or too little detail, use this simple framework to structure your answer: the STAR method.

S – Situation. What was the challenge or situation you were in?

T – Task. What was your responsibility in the situation?

A – Action. What steps did you take to address it?

R— Result. What was the outcome that your actions achieved?

Read more about the STAR Method, including examples of what it looks like in action over at The Muse.
