Supporting context
The article presents a practitioner methodology in which job seekers feed ChatGPT three inputs: a target job description from LinkedIn, the company's About Us page content, and their resume in PDF format. The AI then acts as an interview coach, helping users convert raw experience into CARL-structured responses. CARL extends the common STAR format by adding a Learning component, encouraging candidates to articulate takeaways from each story. The included example demonstrates how to quantify results, citing a 60% response time reduction and 45% satisfaction improvement from an AI ticketing implementation. Readers should treat those figures as illustrative examples rather than verified outcomes, since they come from a hypothetical sample answer.
