Interview skills 2: Practical answering techniques

This module will introduce learners to the STAR technique - a simple technique they can use during interviews to structure their experiences and give meaningful, evidence-based responses.

At the end of the module learners will be able to:

• Understand the STAR technique and how this is relevant to a job interview
• Be able to apply the STAR technique to their own set of circumstances

Encourage your learners to practise their interview technique and rehearse answers to the kind of questions they can expect whatever position they are going for using the Virtual Interview Practice tool. Just like a mock interview, they will be asked questions and have the option to record audio of their responses to help them reflect and improve.

This is module two of three focusing on interview skills for adult learners. The third module is Interview skills 3: Preparing for different types of assessment.
