Networking Event
• Building trust and rapport
• Questioning and listening
The biggest tip I can offer you is when you are
next at a networking event stand back for
while and just people watch. Watch for how
people respond to others and see who is
getting it wrong and spot those who are
getting it right. Listening and observing can be
the best way to learn

Situation: You begin by briefly providing context using a real life situation you
experienced. This is the “before” picture which illustrates what was
happening “at the time” of the situation.
Obstacles: You then articulate the issues or define the problem. This gets the
interviewer’s attention regarding what it is you had to overcome.
Action: You then explain the action you took to resolve the situation.
Results: Lastly, you share the result of your actions. Sharing the quantifiable as
well as qualitative outcomes.
