At your next interview consider the following:

When asked to give an example of a situation you have faced in the past you might want to consider using real life examples from your experiences. The STAR method, as described above, can be a good way to explain your experiences.

What was the situation you had to overcome?
What was the task at hand?
What action did you take to over come the situation?
What the results of your actions?

Answering a question in this manner might give your interviewer an opportunity to identify with your situation since everyone loves a good story.

The next time you go to answer an interview question make sure you answer it like a STAR!
