Prepare for my interview →How the STAR method works
| Part | What to say | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Situation | Set the scene in one or two sentences. | ~15% |
| Task | Your responsibility or the goal. | ~10% |
| Action | What you did, step by step. The main part. | ~55% |
| Result | The outcome, ideally with numbers, and what you learned. | ~20% |
A strong answer usually takes 1.5 to 2 minutes to say. Much shorter feels thin; much longer loses the interviewer.
