STAR Stories



Describe the situation
    • What was the task at hand…
    • What action did you take….
    • Finally, what were the results of your action…
1.       Multiple times, whilst at work during the busy holiday season, everyone was quite busy and had multiple things to do. What kept us afloat was our ability to work as a team and help each other out, and not get overly stressed, which doesn’t solve anything. Everything in the restaurant has a time efficiency standard, and rules that we are supposed to abide by. With both helping my fellow coworkers and being helped as I needed, I was able to both multi task and keep the efficiency of our ‘Claim Jumper team’. I was able to keep an upbeat attitude even during hectic times, and had the benefit of profiting from such. What happened was we were able to keep our customers happy with good food, good timing, and great service! Isn’t what everyone goes out to eat for, anyway?
2.       I have always been an ‘oversized’ person who was picked on a great deal as a kid. It was an extreme hardship that I had to face and overcome. The task for me was to learn new healthy eating habits and to lose weight and to become comfortable with myself so that the teasing would both stop and so it wouldn’t bother me anymore. Through much dedication and hard work, I was able to push myself to lose weight and become more comfortable with myself, and even confident. It was quite amazing how much better I felt about myself and about the world around me.
3.       I had a goal a few months ago to lose some weight and to get back into shape after I had become lazy with my eating and exercise habits. Through much trial and tribulation, I was able to lose 35 pounds in 4 months. I did it through daily exercise and tracking my calories. After doing this I felt better about myself and realized that I could do anything I set my mind to.
