single question competency based interview

[mkjuk]

Does anyone know any books or internet links that will help me prepare for one.

Can anyone offer any other advice that might help

Thanks in advance

Hi

As you will need to describe a specific situation, make sure you prepare well. I do not know what type of job you're looking to apply for, so do not know what questions you may be asked. The most important thing is to reply with a very specific example of how you dealt with a specific situation. Try to use STAR:
S for Situation - what happened/was happening?
T for Target - what were you supposed to achive/wanted to achieve?
A for Action - What actions have you taken? What have you done?
R for Result - What was the end result?
In this way you can clearly describe to the interviewer how you dealt with it. Remember to be specific - don't say I would do this or that, say I did this or that.
Hope it helps. Good luck.
