One way of dealing with this type of question is to use the CAR approach. CAR stands for Context, Action, Result. It helps you to structure your answer like a mini essay.

Context is your introduction, where you describe the scenario you faced, the date and the place. The Action forms the main body and should be the longest part of your answer. The Result is the conclusion and like the introduction, should be quite short.

☛ Context: Describe the situation and the task you were faced with, when, where, with whom?

☛ Action: How? What action did you take? Sometimes people focus on what the group did without mentioning their individual contribution.

☛ Result: What results did you achieve/conclusions did you reach/what did you learn from the experience?
