[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 46711, member: 2672"] Generally no. STAR only really works in competency questions “tell me about a time you have done X” or if you are trying to demonstrate a particular competency within an answer (with the latter, the A part becomes far less relevant). To expand on this: I meant if the question is not actually a competency question (like the one in the thread is “why should we hire you” - that’s not a competency question) then if you are trying to demonstrate a competency within your answer you don’t need the whole rigmarole of STAR format, you can just really to the S/T and R parts (briefly) because otherwise you are not actually answering the question (and potentially going off on a bit of a tangent).
