25. Answering questions
Use the STAR approach to structure your answers to questions.
You can use this to
help you structure
answers in
interviews too.
26. Using the STAR approach
EXAMPLE: give an example of when you used good
communication skills to resolve a difficult situation.
Situation:
Throughout University I worked part-time as a waitress.
Task:
On a particularly busy weekend we were short staffed an
angry customer complained about the extended wait for
their food.
You could also use this particular example for
problem solving or using your initiative.
Action:
I utilised effective communication to help resolve this
issue. I first listened attentively to the customer and
clarified the reason for his complaint to ensure I fully
understood. I apologised and explained the reasons
for the delay, that it was not usual to have to wait this
long but that I would see what I could do. I then
spoke to the kitchen staff to find out how long it would
be before his order was ready and asked for the
order to be prioritised. By explaining the situation to
them, they were willing to prioritise it (something they
would not usually do). I also asked for an estimate as
to when it would be ready. I apologised again to the
customer and gave him the estimated waiting time for
his order.
Result:
This resulted in the customer calming down, being
satisfied with their food and returning to the
restaurant on a regular basis.
