However under stress it's hard to remember a situation and the company will probably end up hiring someone that has the gift of gab with no true skills.

Read the job description so you know what kinds of questions to expect 2. For each question that is relevant, decide what skills/information they are trying to find out 3. Think back to your experiences, find one that applies, and write out a CAR statement - challenge (what was my task or challenge), action (what actions did I take that demonstrate what the employer is looking for), results (what were the results - if good, quantify if possible, if negative, what did you learn from it). 4.

An “answer” could be technically correct, but fall outside the proscribed structure guideline. In this case, the interviewer would have to draw upon not just the textbook guideline, but upon life experience and good old common sense. Unfortunately, a younger HR interviewer may probably fall somewhat short of these two very relevant qualities and, only being able to think within the “box” structure of the “textbook” answer structure guideline, rate the interviewee “low” in this particular area. A more experienced and thus wiser HR interviewer could extrapolate the “out of the box” response and rate the interviewee higher. Obviously, the true success of this process is based on a combination of textbook application, life experience and common sense.

Canned answers are fairly easy to spot and won't get you very far. If you are new to a profession or job, pull examples that are relevant from other areas of your life and tell a story.
