Build a short answer from a real example

For behavioral questions, try STAR: give the situation and your task in a sentence or two, explain the action you personally took, then describe the result and what you learned.

Start with three stories you can adapt: a time you spoke up, a time you changed your approach after feedback, and a time you worked through a disagreement. Leave out names and identifying details.
