Best Practices

Be Specific and Quantifiable

Include specific metrics, percentages, and timeframes. "Increased performance by 40%" is better than "improved performance."

Focus on Your Role

Clearly distinguish between team achievements and your individual contributions. Use "I" statements to highlight your specific actions.

Practice Regularly

Consistent practice builds confidence. Aim for 15-20 minutes daily rather than long, infrequent sessions.

Sample Story Structure

Situation & Task

"At TechCorp, our API response times were averaging 800ms, causing user complaints and 15% drop in engagement..."

Action

"I analyzed the bottlenecks, implemented caching, optimized database queries, and redesigned the critical path..."

Result

"Reduced P95 latency to 200ms, improved user satisfaction by 25%, and saved $50K annually in infrastructure costs."
