[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 47278, member: 1572"] I think you're already on the right track in thinking the STAR structure would work best. I would still start out by saying what exactly my actions would be in that given scenario, so if I'd talk to supervisors, get additional help that kind of thing. I would then try to maybe relate the actions I've mentioned I would take to a similar situation I'd encountered. So if the question was the one in OP's post, I would start by stating all the points I've already mentioned in my first reply and then say "For example, when I was X in Y society, I had to deliver a final report by Z date however had a prior commitment to an event I had already agreed to organise on behalf of a different society" and then elaborate on how my actions helped me resolve the conflict and hence why I'd use a similar approach as a trainee. I think another extra element you could add to the STAR approach is an additional Reflection point (think STARR instead of STAR). This involves adding what you think could have gone better in your example and how you could apply that to the hypothetical scenario for a slightly more efficient/desirable outcome. This is not necessary but I think it really shows your interviewers that you have the ability to reflect and improve. [/QUOTE]
