Free career skills tip: Situation and Task: two sentences, then stop (step 3 of 16 from "Interview Answers That Land").
Pick story 1 (the $12,400 bay C12 miss). Situation is context a stranger needs: 'We do weekly cycle counts on a 40-person warehouse. A bay showed empty in the system for three counts.' Task is your job in that mess: 'I owned the recount and the location audit, not the whole warehouse.' Two sentences. If you are still explaining the WMS vendor in sentence three, you are stalling.
Write S and T for all six stories in the same cramped style. Read them aloud. If a coworker who does not do your job cannot picture the scene in 15 seconds, cut a clause. Names of internal tools are allowed once; do not give a software tour.
