State Civil Service recommends STAR method for behavioral interview questions
Summary
State Civil Service advised applicants to use the STAR method — Situation, Task, Action, Result — to structure answers to behavioral and supplemental questions, and illustrated how it helps provide specific, memorable examples.
An agency official on behalf of State Civil Service recommended the STAR method for answering behavioral interview questions and supplemental application prompts, saying it gives a structured outline of situation, task, action and result. "Using the STAR method will help you to provide specific examples instead of relying on bridal, general answers," the presenter said.
The presenter explained that describing the situation, the role the applicant took, the actions they took and the outcomes will help applicants better showcase skills to hiring managers. She encouraged applicants to use STAR to craft responses that are memorable and demonstrate competencies.
