Action (A): Detail the actions you took to address the task or situation. Be specific about what you did, including any skills or competencies you applied. Focus on your personal contributions and decisions.
Result (R): Conclude your response by describing the results or outcomes of your actions. What happened as a direct result of your efforts? Use quantifiable data when possible to highlight achievements and impact.
