Situation, task, action, result


The situation, task, action, result format is a technique used by interviewers to gather all the relevant information about a specific capability that the job requires.
The STAR technique is similar to the SOARA technique.
The STAR technique is also often complemented with an additional R on the end STARR or STAR with the last R resembling reflection. This R aims to gather insight and interviewee's ability to learn and iterate. Whereas the STAR reveals how and what kind of result on an objective was achieved, the STARR with the additional R helps the interviewer to understand what the interviewee learned from the experience and how they would assimilate experiences. The interviewee can define what they would do next time being posed with a situation.
