Prompt
Act as an interview coach. I'm interviewing for operations lead at a mid-size logistics company. Question I expect: "Tell me about a time you fixed a broken process." Here is my rough experience: Our delivery tracking was manual; I set up a shared sheet and daily check-in; late deliveries dropped. 1. Shape this into a STAR answer (Situation, Task, Action, Result). 2. Write it as I would say it out loud, under 90 seconds, first person, plain language. 3. Point out any part that sounds vague or unbelievable. 4. Give two follow-up questions an interviewer might ask, with one-line tips. Don't add facts I didn't give you.
