As mentioned in our previous Blog, the majority of interviews these days will include behavioural-based questions.
It's important to take time to think about examples you could provide for these types of questions, so go back over your previous work experience to find scenarios you could use.
Below, we've provided some examples that you can use to practice your "storytelling" using the STAR method.
