Kirstin on Fullback and Friends:  STAR.  One of my favourite application and interview techniques that produce excellent results.  It is a really useful tool for the job seeker, and makes application and interview selection a much simpler process for the hiring manager.  By using STAR, you are making it so much easier for the hiring manager to identify you as a suitable candidate.   http://careers.theguardian.com/careers-blog/star-technique-competency-based-interview
