STAR example planner

Use this planner to map examples to context, responsibility, action, result and role relevance before practicing.

Preparation-only feedback

ACT helps candidates practice for the role they are applying for now. It is not recruitment assessment, selection prediction or a replacement for a real panel.

Copy this planning structure

Prepare short notes under these headings before practicing out loud.

  • Role requirement this example supports.
  • Situation: what was happening.
  • Task: what you were responsible for.
  • Action: what you personally did.
  • Result: what changed or was learned.
  • Role relevance: what this proves.

Use the planner for several examples

Prepare four to six examples so you are not trying to force one story into every question.
