[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 48851, member: 5063"] I think the key here is to bring forth a variety of skills/ reasons for a question like the first one. Yes, teamwork is important but firms also need someone who can show leadership/ self-start/ self-direct/ use various other skills which, in an answer to a question like the first one you mention, would give a much more multi-dimensional answer than just to discuss teamwork. I would also have more than one example for various key competencies like teamwork so that, even if there is overlap in answers, you can give more than one example. Personally I feel that the STAR structure is generally best-suited towards competency questions, but I think the key idea that it carries of breaking down examples into a clear 'situation, cause and effect' type structure is fairly universal to maximising the impact of any example you use to back up any question.
