For example, if the question is asking you to describe a situation where you had to deal with a difficult person, explain your role in interacting with them and why they were difficult. Give enough detail to set the scene.  \nTask: The task flows from the situation above. What exactly did you do in this situation? What was your assigned role? You need to keep focused on your personal role. Don’t refer to “what we did” asthe interview will want to know “what you did” You could expand on your situation part of the answer by saying something like: “During this particular project I was asked to write the report to the client detailing our progress to date. This meant that I had to gather updates from the team every week and chase them when things weren’t going to plan.”  \nAction: This is the most important section as it gives you the opportunity to highlight your personal skills and attributes that the question is seeking evidence of. Here you can explain exactly what you did in the situation you are telling the recruiter about. Remember you need to address the competency, go into as much detail as you think necessary and don’t assume that they will know what you mean without further explanation and extra information.  \nResult: Finally explain what happened in the end and if it was a successful outcome. Did you achieve what you had intended? This is the opportunity to talk about your successes and if it didn’t all go to plan, what did you learn in that situation?","cbCaideXJZAAz8YI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaideXJZAAz8YI","pdf",176478,"English","# Personal brand and LinkedIn resources\n# Career tips for senior roles\n# Interview preparation resources\n# Interview technique: The STAR method\n## Situation\n## Task\n## Action\n## Result","[{\"question\":\"What is the STAR method and how should it be used in interview answers?\",\"answer\":\"STAR structures responses into Situation, Task, Action, and Result.
