1.2The STAR Framework

Component Purpose Common Mistake
Situation Set the scene. What was the context? Too long. Keep it to 2-3 sentences.
Task What was your specific responsibility? Describing the team's task, not yours.
Action What did you actually do? Using "we" instead of "I."
Result What was the measurable outcome? No metrics. Vague "it went well."

The total answer should take 2-3 minutes. If you are talking for more than 4 minutes, you are losing the interviewer.
