[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 37608, member: 2672"] A "why you" doesnt need STAR. I think too many people hang on the STAR thinking its the answer to everything. It is up to you whether you want to use one example or multiple examples. One example could leave you looking slightly more one dimensional though. The risk with STAR is that if you adhere to it strictly, then describing mulitple examples would just be long winded. For many cover letters, S or T plus R are sufficient - you often don't need to go into the detail of the A in a cover letter (which is usually the most important part of the STAR format, and so why I say STAR isn't necessary in a cover letter!).
