How to use this resource

  1. Group the job description into a few preparation themes.
  2. Add one example for each theme using enough context to make your role understandable.
  3. Write three cue words, then practice explaining the example aloud without reading a script.
  4. Update the bank when you notice an example does not fit the role or cannot be described accurately.

An evidence bank is not an answer sheet

Interview preparation becomes less brittle when you have several real examples and can choose the one that matches the question. This worksheet prompts for situation, action, outcome or learning, and a few cues for flexible practice.

The goal is clarity, not a polished performance. You can pause, ask a question for clarification, or say what you would learn next; the worksheet should never encourage invented experience.

Keep each cue useful
