S - Situation
You use a few sentences to describe the
situation and brief background (if relevant). I literally mean only 3-4
sentences to state what the situation was.
T- Task
You
then describe to the interviewer what the task was that was given to
you to execute. Again, be specific and clear about what it was you had
to do.
A - Actions
This part of the answer is all
about what and how you performed the execution of the assigned task.
Focus on your specific actions (and not the group's actions) and
describe it using good, positive adjectives. This is your most important
part of the answer and you should therefore spend the most time on this
part of your answer.
R-Result
Always remember to
have an outcome or result associated with what you specifically did.
Again, you are able to mention the group's result here too but put all
the focus on the part of the outcome or result that you were
specifically responsible for.
Example of how to implement the STAR for your job interview questions and answers follows below.
