As MBA aspirants gear up for their upcoming interviews, I wanted to share a valuable tip to help you make a lasting impression on your interviewers. It’s all about crafting impactful responses to even the most general questions.
Introducing the STAR technique – Situation, Task, Action, Result. Let’s break it down using an example. Imagine you’re asked, “What makes great leadership?”
🌟 Situation: Begin by setting the stage, providing context around a significant situation or challenge you’ve encountered. For instance, recount a moment when your first boss displayed exceptional leadership during a tough scenario, serving as your inspiration.
🌟 Task: Describe your role and responsibilities within this challenging context. Share a time when you faced difficulties in a different team, highlighting your unique role in overcoming those obstacles.
🌟 Action: Explain how you navigated the situation and applied your learning in your own way. Describe how you implemented strategies you gleaned from your first boss’s leadership example to tackle your current challenges.
🌟 Result: Share the outcome of the situation and how the advice you received made a positive impact.
By structuring your answers in this manner, you not only address the question effectively but also showcase your strengths and experiences. Every response becomes an opportunity to reveal more about yourself.
At Futureworks, we conduct multiple rounds of mock interviews. This ensures they are well-prepared to handle interview situations using these valuable strategies and techniques.
