Interview Technique: The STAR story approach SITUATION – Set the scene: What was the situation? Who was involved? TASK – What was the task that needed to be done? What was the desired outcome? What was your role? ACTION – What did you do to achieve the outcome? What preparation/ steps did you take? RESULT – What was the result? Was it successful? What did you learn from it? Would you have done anything differently?

Prepare your STAR story....

Consider your experience and using the STAR template cover 1 of the following scenarios: - A time you have taken the lead/responsibility OR - A time you have demonstrated strong influencing skills Remember you can use any examples – University/previous jobs/volunteer work and so on

Practice makes perfect.... In pairs take a few minutes each to rehearse your STAR story

Provide feedback to your partner on their ‘STAR story’ • Were you able to ‘follow’ their story • Was there a clear Situation, Task, Action and Result? • Did they focus enough time on each section? • Did they have a clear result? – were they able to demonstrate how this was satisfactory • Any further advice?
