❌ Picking a project simply because it was technically difficult.

❌ Talking only about technology.

❌ Describing team achievements without clarifying personal contribution.

❌ Not mentioning impact.

❌ No reflection or learning.

Pick something that:

• Solved a real business problem,

• Had real consequences if you failed,

• Changed the way you worked,

• Allowed you to have a greater impact.
