What teachers say about this guide
Some fellow STAR gazers
"The STAR method was critical to my successful application with the Civil Service. Using the formula I was able to articulate my teaching experiences in a succinct and compelling way".
" The Civil Service welcomes applications from diverse backgrounds including teaching. What's critical is showcasing you have the skills for a career in Government. The STAR method helps you do this and this guide provides aspirational examples from teachers".
"This guide identified how far away I was from getting the STAR method right. After using the examples I was able to evidence my skills extremely effectively. Although the advice here is simple my CV is now streets ahead of where it was. Thanks Did Teach".
FAQ

Why should I buy this guide? Surely, I can work out how to use the STAR method.
You're right to think this and there's a huge amount of advice out there. But much of it is nebulous and some of it is of poor quality. We have read thousands of teacher CV's and supporting statements and can testify that nine times out of ten they are not doing themselves justice. This guide will give you a formula that is simple to use and highly effective.
