To ensure that you answer behavioural questions completely, consider using the S.T.A.R. approach:
Situation:
Give a personal example of a situation that resulted in a positive outcome.
Task:
Describe the tasks that you performed in that situation.
Action:
Talk about the various actions that you performed in respect to the task.
Results:
What positive outcomes came out from your actions.
NOTE:
- When preparing your answers, always highlight your actions and aim to include two essential qualifications from the job poster per example. Do not be afraid to showcase your skills.
- When describing situations with the star method DO NOT use the word “WE” hiring managers want to know what“YOU” did.
