Past performance can be used as a predictor of future behaviour, and a behavioural interview attempts to uncover your past performance by asking open-ended questions. Each question helps the interviewer learn about your past performance in a keyskill area that is critical to success in the position for which you are interviewing.  \nUse the STAR technique:  \nThe STAR technique is a useful way to frame the answers to each question in an organised manner, which will give the interview the most information about your past experience.  \nAs you prepare to answer each question, consider organising your response by answering each of the following components of the STAR technique:  \nSituation or Task  \nAction Taken  \nResults Achieved  \nDescribe the situation you were in or the task you needed to complete  \n Describe specific events or situations, not a generalised description  \n Be sure to give enough detail for the interviewer to understand  \n The situation can be f rom a previous job, volunteer experience, or any relevant event  \n Describe the action you took and be sure to keep the focus on you  \n Even when discussing a group project or effort, describe what YOU did, not the efforts of the team  \n Don’t tell them what you might do, tell them what you’ve already done  \n What happened?  \n How did the event end?  \n What did you accomplish?  \n What did you learn?  \nLevel 1, 3 Spring Street, Sydney  \n[careers@coxpurtell.com.au 02](careers@coxpurtell.com.au 02) 9220 3400 COXPURTELL.
