Survey after survey lists The Fear of Public Speaking at the top of the ‘Fear List’ most people have. Some say they would rather die than stand in front of an audience and deliver a speech. This is unfortunate because it holds many back from reaching their potential.

WOW! That’s a memorable take-away, isn’t it? NOT!
Ending a valuable presentation program like that is unfortunate. Regrettably, this anti-climatic way to draw to a close, a great message from a speaker, is often the norm. It’s done this way because no one, especially the master of ceremonies and others in charge of the event, thought about a better way to end it. I bring you Good News – There is!

3. The STAR “Behavioral” Process
A “STAR” question is a three-part inquiry about a situation that you
have encountered on the job.
• You will be asked to talk about a S T
ituation or ask you have
encountered on the job, such as dealing with a peer or customer
• What Action did you take to resolve that situation or task?
• What was the Result, or outcome?
Most likely you will encounter Behavioral Interview “STAR” questions!
Practice answering such questions!

4. Situation/Task + Action + Result = STAR
Example questions you may encounter. . .
• “Tell me about a situation in which you had to manage an irate
customer. What did you do? What result did you get?”
• “Tell me about a time when you had to go above and beyond the
call of duty in order to complete a job.”
Answer by briefly talking about a specific job situation you
encountered, the action taken to resolve, and the outcome!

5. Another Question You May Encounter
Tell Me About Yourself!
Answer: Sell yourself verbally
• During an Interview: Limit this to just 1-2 minutes of a sales
pitch about YOU! Your career highlights, history and why you are
the most qualified candidate!
• Career Fair or Networking Event: Limit this to only a 30 second
sales pitch about yourself! Be brief, but to the point!
Practice until you can easily speak about yourself and your experience!

6. How to Practice
• Practice your personal sales pitch verbally, to another person
• Find a partner and ask each other behavioral questions
• Examples? Google “Sample Behavioral Interview Questions”, and I
have some posted for your review
• Time your personal sales pitch; no more than 30 seconds for Job
