```text
I'm applying for [JOB TITLE, e.g. project coordinator]. Here are the written questions on the application: [APPLICATION QUESTIONS]. Here's the job posting: [JOB POSTING]. Here's my resume: [YOUR RESUME]. For each question, pick the single best example from my real experience and tell me in one line why you chose it. Then draft an answer using the STAR method: the situation, my task, the actions I took and the result, with numbers only where my resume supports them. Keep each answer under [WORD LIMIT, e.g. 200 words]. Don't invent anything. If my resume doesn't have a good example, ask me a question to find one.
