FACT FRIDAY | Got an interview coming up? :👀
Heita, chommie! Have you ever been asked a question in an interview and your mind just went blank? Do you freeze when an interviewer asks, “Tell me about a time you worked in a team?” 😅
Here’s a tip that can help you answer with more confidence: Use the STAR method! ⭐
⭐ S – Situation: My school group had to prepare a presentation, but we were struggling to finish on time.
⭐ T – Task: We needed to organise our work and make sure everyone contributed.
⭐ A – Action: I helped divide the tasks, checked in with my group members and made sure we finished our parts.
⭐ R – Result: We completed the presentation on time, and I learnt how important communication and teamwork are.
See how that works? You’ve just shown teamwork, problem-solving and responsibility without needing formal work experience!
Your turn: Think of a time you helped solve a problem at school, at home or in your community. How would you answer using STAR?
📍Save this post to practise before your next interview. Share it with a friend who’s preparing for their first job, learnership or internship.
Comment “STAR” if you’d like more practical interview examples. Your next step starts with preparation.
