[QUOTE="Matt_96, post: 58778, member: 1260"] Morning Jessica, I'm writing an app for a firm which is asking me to [U][B]"tell us something which did not turn out as expected"[/B][/U] in 200 words. Am I right in thinking that they want me to use STAR (or perhaps a more abbreviated version of it given the short word limit) to explain the situation and how I responded to it? The example I would like to use relates to managing clashing priorities after a surprise car accident in exam week a few years back meant I had to defer an exam and juggle studying with roles I had already committed to as a waiter and volunteer law clinic advisor over the summer holiday. However, I'm on the fence about whether I should use this example. Do you think it could work for this question? I tend to use it in competency interviews to answer questions about balancing tasks and time management. [/QUOTE]
