STAR Job Interview Checklist

Checklist to be used to help prepare for a behavioural job interview using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result)

For each one of these situations, have you committed to memory answers to the four STAR questions below?
Situation - What specific event or situation were you involved in and what was your role?
Task - What was the goal you were working towards?
Action - Describe the action or actions you took and be sure to focus on yourself and your own responsibilities.
Result(s) - What was the outcome of your action or actions? What changes resulted and what did you learn?
