<h1>STAR Technique for Interviews</h1>
<p>This playbook outlines the STAR technique, which stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result, to help individuals structure and deliver effective responses to behavioral interview questions.</p>

<h3>Step 1: Situation</h3>
<p>Describe the context within which you performed a task or faced a challenge at work. This can include specific details like the setting, the people involved, and the background to the incident you're discussing.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Task</h3>
<p>Explain the actual task or challenge that was involved. This should clarify what the responsibility was, or what goal you were working toward.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Action</h3>
<p>Detail the specific actions you took to address the task or challenge. Focus on what you did, rather than what your team or manager did.</p>

<h3>Step 4: Result</h3>
<p>Share the outcomes or results of the actions taken. Highlight any accomplishments or what you learned, and if possible, quantify the results with concrete data.</p>

<h2>General Notes</h2>

<h3>Preparation</h3>
<p>Before the interview, prepare several scenarios from your past experiences that you can adapt for use with the STAR technique.</p>
