Please see our guide on the STAR method for a complete explanation, tips, and examples. The worksheets in the packet will help you prepare for any interview by drafting five STAR stories, step by step. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result.  \n| Situation What was going on? 2-3 sentences |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Task | What was your goal? | 1-2 sentences |\n|  |  |  |\n| Action | What did you do? | 2-3 sentences |\n|  |  |  |\n| Result | What was the outcome? | 2-3 sentences |\n\nFive Key Success Stories  \nFor any interview, prepare these five success stories, ready to discuss in STAR format.  \n1. An accomplishment you’re proud of  \n2. A time you went above and beyond  \n3. A conflict that was resolved successfully  \n4. A challenge that you overcame  \n5. A mistake that you learned from  \nThese five topics cover the most common behavioral questions and will allow you to showcase your successes, communication skills, adaptability, professionalism, and willingness to learn. You may also find it necessary to develop other types of stories related to your field and the skills, values, and attributes most important for a particular job or program.  \nPlease print this packet single-sided. Activities are designed to be used side by side.  \nStep 1: Brainstorming Related Experience  \nFirst, identify your relevant past experience. This will help you think up the most pertinent examples. Check all that apply, then jot down the specific jobs, classes and so on where you got the experience. List everything that comes to mind.  \nPosition You Are Interviewing For:   Field/Industry:    \n\n| Possible Related Experience Where You Got The Experience |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 􀂅 | College major, minor or other classes |  |\n| 􀂅 | Work or internship experience in field |  |\n| 􀂅 | Volunteer experience in field |  |\n| 􀂅 | Research or other projects |  |\n| 􀂅 | Attended a conference or other event |  |\n| 􀂅 | Trainings or certifications |  |\n| 􀂅 | Skills and abilities |  |\n| 􀂅 | Shadowing or observation experience |  |\n| 􀂅 | Similar role in a previous position (even if it was in a different field) |  |\n| 􀂅 | Other related experience |  |\n\nStep 2: Brainstorming Examples  \nNext, you will brainstorm specific examples. Focus on the related experience you identified in Step 1 and jot down a few ideas. Aim for about 2-3 examples each.  \n\n| Type of Story Guiding Questions Your Examples |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Accomplishment you’re proud of | What is the hardest project you’ve done in college? At work? As a volunteer? Can you think of a time a professor or supervisor recognized your work? Have you ever received an award or honors? When have you done your best work? |  |\n| Time you went above and beyond | Have you ever gone in early or stayed late at work or the library to finish a project (but not because you put it off to the last minute)? Can you think of a time that you really wanted to give a project your all? |  |\n| Conflict that was resolved | Have you ever felt frustrated working on a group project, but everything worked out in the end? Can you think of a time you had to sit down with a classmate or coworker to settle a disagreement? Have you ever felt nervous to discuss something with a coworker or supervisor, but were relieved as soon as you talked to them? |  |\n| Challenge that you overcame | Have you ever thought to yourself,“Oh !@\\#$, what are we going to do now?!” in a work, school or volunteer setting? Can you think of a time that things did not go as planned, but it was all ok in the end? What was the hardest day you’ve ever had at work or school (not due to a personal issue)? |  |\n| Mistake you learned from | What’s something you would do differently now if you had the chance? Can you think of a time you apologized to someone in a professional or academic setting? Do you ever cringe when looking back on something yo","cbCailtpR8vayq2z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailtpR8vayq2z","pdf",324082,"English","# STAR Method Interview Prep Packet\n## STAR framework overview\n## Five key success stories\n## Step 1: Brainstorming related experience\n## Step 2: Brainstorming examples\n## Step 3: Choosing quality examples\n## Step 4: Writing your STAR stories","[{\"question\":\"What is the STAR method for behavioral interviews?\",\"answer\":\"The STAR method is a simple formula for answering behavioral interview questions using Situation, Task, Action, and Result.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the five key success story types to prepare?\",\"answer\":\"Prepare five stories: an accomplishment you’re proud of, a time you went above and beyond, a conflict resolved successfully, a challenge you overcame, and a mistake you learned from.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the packet help you choose quality examples?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a checklist to circle strong options and cross out weak ones, prioritizing related experience, quantifiable results, positive outcomes, and stories you would feel comfortable and confident sharing.\"}]","STAR Method Interview Prep Packet - Step-by-Step Worksheets | PDF"]
