Start with evidence, not adjectives

Before you draft, list three times you changed an outcome. For each one, capture the situation, your own actions and what changed. Separate what you did from what the team did. Use accurate results rather than unsupported claims. Read the job ad again and choose examples that match what the role needs. Leave out classified or sensitive information. A strong example is one you can explain in your own words, including what you learned.
