I am preparing for a behavioral interview. Here's the question: Tell me about a time you failed. How did you handle it? Here's my answer: Shortly after I was promoted to senior project manager, I was in charge of leading a project for a major client. This project would typically take about a month to complete, but the client was in a rush and asked if I could have it ready in three weeks. Excited that it was my first project, I agreed. Shortly after, I realized I'd need a bit more time to finish it and deliver quality work. I reached out to the client right away and apologized. I also asked for a three-day extension, and they were generous enough to extend the deadline. I managed to finish the project and deliver it before the extended deadline. However, I learned to manage my time better and never overpromise on something I can’t deliver. Can you tell me if I followed the Situation Task Action Result (STAR) format correctly, and point out each of the S T A R ?

Can you tell me if I followed the Situation Task Action Result (STAR) format correctly, and point out each of the S T A R ?

It looks like you provided the first three components of the Situation Task Action Result (STAR) format in your answer to the behavioral interview question, but you did not include the result of your actions. The R in STAR stands for "Result," and it is important to include the outcome of your actions in your response.

Here is a breakdown of the S T A R components in your answer:

S: "Shortly after I was promoted to senior project manager, I was in charge of leading a project for a major client." T: "This project would typically take about a month to complete, but the client was in a rush and asked if I could have it ready in three weeks." A: "Excited that it was my first project, I agreed. Shortly after, I realized I'd need a bit more time to finish it and deliver quality work. I reached out to the client right away and apologized. I also asked for a three-day extension, and they were generous enough to extend the deadline."

To complete the STAR format, you should add a sentence or two about the result of your actions. For example: "I was able to successfully finish the project and deliver it before the extended deadline. However, I learned to better manage my time and not overpromise on something I can't deliver."

Overall, it is important to include the result of your actions in your response to a behavioral interview question, as it provides the interviewer with a complete picture of the situation and how you handled it.
