[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 192538, member: 36740"] For this question, I would personally focus on just one example. This will ensure that you are able to use STAR adequately and leave no stone untouched. Although, bear in mind this depends in the word count: if less than 300 words, then I recommend using only one example. As the value is also [I][B]be better together, [/B][/I]I presume you will need to talk about an example where you’ve demonstrate teamwork. I’ve quoted below a post I made on this in the past. The subject matter is different, but it should provide more guidance on how to apply STAR in the spec of law firm applications. “ [LIST] [*][B]Situation[/B]: Start by describing a personal experience or challenge you've faced. This could be anything from adapting to a new culture, overcoming adversity, or leading an initiative. It’s important to show how it gave you a fresh perspective. [*][B]Task[/B]: What responsibility or role did you take on in that situation? For example, did you take the lead on a project, support others, or push for change in some way? [*][B]Action[/B]: Then, explain what specific steps you took to address the situation or make the most of it. How did you tackle the challenge or make an impact? [*][B]Result[/B]: Finally, wrap up by explaining the outcome. What did you learn from the experience, and how did it shape you? Can you quantify it? Any feedback you got that was positive? Connect this back to how it will help you succeed on the Insight Scheme. [/LIST] “ [/QUOTE]
