What's important is that you die a little bit inside in STAR format.



- So, once I interviewed with a company and was asked about a conflict at work.

- The task at hand was to recall (or, for that matter, invent) a situation involving a conflict at work, and convince the interviewer that I handled it with aplomb.

- And so, I proceeded to recalling a situation involving a conflict, explained the Situation to the interviewer in detail, outlined the Tasks I was responsible for, conveyed the Actions I took, and related the Result of my actions.

- Result: I died a little bit inside, but the interviewer was very impressed and offered me a job on the spot.
