Add a STAR story

From Stories, click "Add story". You'll go through a five-step form: title → Situation → Task → Action → Result, then category and tags.

Tips for each section:

• Title — short, memorable, names the achievement. "Led migration to microservices", not "Project at previous role".
• Situation — 2-4 sentences. Set the stage. Include scale (team size, budget, timeframe) so the panel understands the magnitude.
• Task — 1-3 sentences. What was specifically yours? If you led a team, name what your part was vs. the team's.
• Action — 3-6 sentences. The substance of the story. Lead with verbs (designed, negotiated, ran). Name the people, tools, decisions. This is where most stories under-deliver — be concrete.
• Result — 2-3 sentences. Quantify. If you don't have exact numbers, give a credible range or reference point. Mention the lasting impact, not just the immediate outcome.

After saving, the app grades the story (Pro feature) on clarity, specificity, impact, and conciseness. Read the feedback and iterate. A 7+ overall means it's interview-ready.

You can also start from a career block in the CV Library — pick a work-history bullet and "Make STAR" to use it as the seed.
