#CareerTipTuesday - Be a STAR with Situational Questions

11/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Employers often ask Situational questions during interviews in order to gain a better understanding of how a candidate may perform in certain situations - likely situations which will be common in the role for which they are hiring. These questions often begin with the phrase "tell me about a time when..."
.
For example: "Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done."
or
"Tell me about a time when you had to manage a conflict with a peer or supervisor."
.
If you have an upcoming interview, chances are you'll have to answer at least one of these types of questions. So how do you demonstrate that you'd be the ideal hire?
.
Our Tip: Shine Using the STAR Method
Situation
Task
Action
Result
Situation - Provide details and context for the situation or circumstance you'll be describing
.
Task - What was the challenge or task that you had to work through?
.
Action - What steps (or actions) did you take to address the issue or complete the task?
.
Results - What was the result of your action? Did you save the employer money? Or make a customer happy? How was the challenge resolved?
.
Remember employers are looking for results. So don't sell yourself short by forgetting to include them in your answer.
