Exercise $7-2$: Behavior$-$Based Questions and STAR Approach Answers

Instructions:

In this exercise, you will practice recognizing behavior$-$based questions and appropriate responses using the STAR approach.

First, write down three new behavior$-$based questions you foresee being asked by future employers. You can make them up or find them on the Internet.

Remember, the interviewer wants you to prove that you have certain qualifications and skills that the company is seeking. Behavioral$-$based questions often start with phrases such as $$Think of a time when...$$ or $$Provide an example when...$$ or $$Have you ever had the experience of $\_\_\_\_\_\_$Blank? What did you do$?$

Write your behavioral$-$based questions:

Once you have listed your behavior$-$based questions, formulate each answer according to the STAR outline. Write the letters $($ST$),($A$),$ and $($R$)$ near the wording that illustrates the format correctly. If you are unsure, review the city ordinance enforcement manager interview for an example.
