STAR Interview Technique

STAR INTERVIEW TECHNIQUE

Situation
Task
Action
Result


Situation: Big picture, politics

What were the things had to be done?
What did you do?
What happened?


How well do they understand the issues?

They are not going to let go off the hook.

Organized approach. Talk to me about it.

Every bullet on the resume incorporates the STAR story and the key selection criteria.

What are the responsibilities of the hiring managers?

Behavioral
Past behavior
Predicted future performance

If they have done it before, they can do it again.

Open ended questions.

Situational
Tell me about a time when…

Never what you would do.. what did you do

Multi dimensional perspective.

What really makes them think

Were they successful?
RESUME

QUESTION KEY SELECTION CRITERIA
(Job Description)

Those three should be linked.

Accomplishments should be on the resume.

Bullet point – Details

Tie in the resume to job description


- Skill
- Knowledge
- Attitude

Tells who you are

Work ethic
Team player
Honest
Reliable
Likable
Excited

Answer the question, not over kill
