This is slightly different from a typical structured competency answer. For something like "how you do you deal with a stressful situation", you could:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Start with your natural approach (e.g. "I tend to prioritise quickly and break things into smaller tasks...")</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Briefly illustrate this with a short example (for this, you could potentially use a light STAR-style example)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reflect on why that approach works for you</li> </ul>Therefore, you are still giving evidence of your approach, but it should feel natural and reflective rather than a structured story.I hope that assists! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
