SOARA

The SOARA (Situation, Objective, Action, Results, Aftermath) is a job interview technique. The SOARA technique is similar to the Situation, Task, Action, Result technique. In many interviews, the SOARA technique is used as a structure for progressively extracting information relating to a recent challenge.

Situation: The interviewer wants you to present a recent challenge and situation you found yourself in.
Objective: What did you have to achieve? The interviewer will be looking to see what you were trying to achieve from the situation.
Action: What did you do? The interviewer will be looking for information on what you did, why you did it and what were the alternatives.
Results: What was the outcome of your actions? What did you achieve through your actions and did you meet your objectives.
Aftermath: What did you learn from this experience and have you used this learning since?
