STAR: Situation, Task, Action, Result
(Upbeat music introduces video with title and overlay of Aboriginal graphics)
Mallary: So when you're doing your interview you can use a tool called the STAR method and the STAR method provides a structured way in sharing your skills and experience with the hiring panel.
So what does STAR stand for? The S stands for situation. So, you need to briefly explain the role that you were in, and what happened at that time. What was the situation that arose?
The T stands for task. So, what was your task in resolving that situation?
The A stands for action. What did you do to resolve the situation and really be specific about what you did.
And the R, what was the result? So, what happened after you took those actions? Was it a positive outcome? Was it a not so positive outcome, but did you learn some lessons for it and apply that to your future roles?

Please note that at DCJ we commonly use the word "Aboriginal", recognising that Aboriginal people are the original inhabitants of NSW, the part of Australia we are responsible for. We acknowledge and respect that Torres Strait Islander people are among the First Nations of Australia and that both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are an important part of our staff and the communities we work with.
