The STAR Method: Answering Behavioural Interview Questions

Behavioural questions ask how you acted in the past to predict how you'll act in future. The STAR method gives your answers a clear, convincing structure.

Structure equals clarity

Situation, Task, Action and Result keeps rambling in check and ensures you actually answer the question.

End on the result

Interviewers remember outcomes. Always close with what changed because of what you did, ideally with a number.

Quick tips

  • Prepare five STAR stories in advance
  • Keep the Situation and Task brief
  • Spend most time on your specific Action
  • Finish with a measurable Result
