Graduate Handbook -- STAR Competency Worksheet



STAR COMPETENCY WORKSHEET

Behavior based interviewing is a method many companies currently use to find proof of particular skills. One way to handle such a question is the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). For more information about the STAR method, go to csom.umn.edu/WWWPages/BCC/masters/star.htm or asp/article.asp?aid=481&atype=Interviewing. Thinking through examples of when and how you exhibited such skills is useful practice for interviews.
