Situation /
Task /
Problem
Describe the situation that you were in or the task that you
needed to accomplish. You must describe a specific event or
situation, not a generalized description of what you have done in
the past. Be sure to give enough detail for the interviewer to
understand. This situation can be from a previous job, from a
volunteer experience, or any relevant event.
Action
Describe the action you took and be sure to keep the focus on
you. Even if you are discussing a group project or effort, describe
what you did -- not the efforts of the team. Don't tell what you
might do, tell what you did.
Results
What happened? How did the event end? What did you
accomplish? What did you learn?

You may be asked these questions to assess your ability to handle the
unexpected, solve problems, or think under pressure.
