Overview

The STAR Method is a story-telling framework that will help make you, and your accomplishments memorable!

• Situation: Set the stage! In 1-2 sentences describe the problem that you were faced with, and why that problem mattered.
• Task: How were you involved with that problem? What were you responsible for coming up with the solution? Maybe even lead a team?
• Action: Okay, so we know of the problem and what you were tasked to do it…how did you execute those tasks?

Result:

After your involvement, what were the outcomes of your actions? Was it successful or unsuccessful? If it wasn't successful, what did you learn from it?
