Competency interview questions usually begin with either “Tell me about a time…” or “Provide and example of…”. Many companies as part of their recruitment process integrate the STAR model for interviewing so therefore as an interviewee it’s vital that you follow the Competency method or technique for athe majority of interview questions and behaviours that might come up. STAR Interview Questions or situational interview questions are ones that seek to learn about your previous “behaviours” in specific work circumstances to provide insight in to how you react in a similar situation for the role you’re interviewing for. When answering behavioural interview questions, you are required to employ the STAR interview method.
The STAR interview questions are meant to elicit a narrative response from the candidates.
