Most interview questions are answered best as a short story: what the situation was, what you had to do, what you did, and how it turned out. Plan yours here using real examples from your own work.
Where were you, when, and what was happening? Two sentences.
What was your responsibility in it?
What did you actually do? This is the longest part — be specific.
How did it end? Use a real number only if you have one.
Read it aloud once. Aim for 60–90 seconds.
Behavioural questions — "tell me about a time you…" — are answered best in four parts: the situation, your task, what you actually did, and the result. This planner walks you through the ten questions that come up most, keeps each answer to a length you can say in ninety seconds, and saves them in your browser for rehearsal.
