Plan for those questions. I prepare using the STAR method, and it helps me get those scenarios in place so when I’m asking I’m ready to go. Practice! Gets easier the more you run through them.

What is the STAR method? I have never heard of that before

I’ve found it helps to write out a few examples ahead of time so I’m not scrambling in the moment. It still feels natural, but I’ve already done the thinking when I wasn’t nervous.

Oh wow that is a good idea, will have a go at doing that, thank you!
