Make your responses as structured and concise as possible. Avoid rambling or delivering roundabout answers. It is recommended to use the STAR method when structuring your answers. Address each answer by first offering the SITUATION involved with your example. Move onto the TASK, which this situation requires. Then share the ACTION you took and the RESULT of your actions. This will add structure to your answers.

I have to say that BAE Systems' willingness to contribute and match donations was a big draw. I want to work with a company I can get behind that has shared values."
