[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 223439, member: 42112"] Hello! Scenario-based interviews can feel intimidating, but once you find a method that works for you, they actually become a great opportunity to show how you think and work! One thing that really helps is using a clear structure, such as the STAR method, as this helps keep your answer focused and makes sure that you hit all the important points without rambling. I've also found it really useful in the past to build a "bank" of examples ahead of time. Have a look at some of the most common scenario-based questions involve, and think of key moments from your previous experiences where you have displayed these - things such as solving a problem, working through a conflict, supporting a team member, etc. If you take a few minutes to map these out in advance (and perhaps quickly note which skills each experience highlights), you can quickly adapt them to whatever scenario the interviewer throws at you. When you are actually answering the question, try to walk the interviewer through your thought process. They won't necessarily just be looking for the final outcome - they will want to hear why you made the choices you did and how you approached the situation. At the end, it also helps to tie the experience back to the role that you are applying for and what it taught you overall. A little preparation goes a long way, and once you have a structure and a handful of solid examples, you'll feel more confident going into the interview. I hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
