What a strong answer covers
How to answer
STAR, and the part most people miss.
T
Task
What you specifically were responsible for. Interviewers are listening for the boundary between you and your team.
A
Action
The longest part. The decisions you made and why, in the order you made them. Name the method or framework you used.
R
Result
A number where you have one, and what you would do differently. The reflection is the part candidates skip and interviewers remember.
Then make it count on paper.
The CTDP and CTP designations are the national standard these competencies come from. Certified members appear in the public registry that employers search.
