How to use these examples
- Fill every blank with your own figure, or remove the claim. A bullet with no number is better than one with a guessed number, which an interviewer can ask you to explain.
- Keep only tools and tasks you really used. If an example names a tool you never touched, rewrite it around what you did use.
- Start with what you did. Open each bullet with an action — built, reduced, trained, answered — not "responsible for" or "helped with".
- One line, one result. Aim for 15–25 words: the action, what it touched, and the outcome.
