Build a bank of STAR stories for competency questions
'Tell me about a time when…' and your mind goes blank. Get six ready-made stories that cover most competency questions, in STAR order.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me build a bank of STAR stories for interviews. The job ad or competencies: [paste them] Things I've done at work: [rough notes: problems fixed, conflicts, deadlines, mistakes, teamwork, leadership] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Ask follow-ups a few at a time if you still need detail or a result for a story. Then: 1. Six STAR stories (situation, task, action, result), each about 150 words, with the action part the longest and in "I", not "we". 2. A table: each story against the competencies it can answer. 3. A 45-second spoken version of each. 4. The likely follow-up question for each story, with a short answer. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
