How to Answer "Tell Me About a Time When..." Interview Questions

How to Answer "Tell Me About a Time When..." Interview Questions

You’ve reviewed your resume, practiced your elevator pitch, and reviewed a few stories you can share during the interview. All is well, and you’re feeling confident. And then the interviewer says, “Tell me about a time when..."

And you freeze.

This is a particular type of question, and one that can help you ace (or accidentally tank) your interview. Check out this piece on The Muse on how to answer those Q's like a boss.

I was always told to act like a STAR and give the Situation, Task, Action, and Result in your answer, and practice before the interview with someone who can tell you if the answers made the listener feel about the response. The feeling your aiming for is "I want this person on my team." or "This person will fit right in with our organization."

A person's emotional intelligence will determine how this question is answered. Interviewers want to know how you react to a difficult situation (or a difficult co-worker), the steps you take to resolve a conflict and what you learned in the aftermath.
