Every time a question is asked by the interviewer, you should get into the habit of using the STAR technique to fully answer the question. It may be good to adapt some examples to the role you are applying for beforehand so that you do not get
caught off guard.
Situation:
Provide some background to a situation you were faced and what you were required to do.
Task:
As you have now set the scene, you need to outline what challenges and obstacles you were facing.
Action:
You now need to explain the action you took to overcome these challenges.
Results:
Demonstrate how your skill set enabled you to reach a successful outcome and what you learnt from the decision which you took. Remember – if you are struggling to give an example you can always ask the interviewer to repeat the question. Take
time to fully understand the question and what the interviewer is asking from you before giving an answer. Try not to panic if you do not have an answer ready and ask the interview for a few second to think about your answer. Stay calm and
composed throughout the process.
