STAR Method Worksheet

Draft one answer per sheet. Keep Situation and Task short, spend most of your words on Action, and finish on a result.

Capability this answers: Example used:
S Situation

Set the scene in one or two lines. What was going on and what was your role?

T Task

What were you specifically asked or needed to do? Keep it short.

A Action

The heart of the answer. What did YOU decide and do, step by step? Use "I".

R Result

Close on a checkable outcome: a number, a before-and-after, or a lasting change.

Before you move on, check

  • Action is the longest section
  • I said "I", not "we"
  • The result is a number or a lasting change
  • It runs about 90 seconds spoken
