Often people will focus on explaining what they did but forget to talk about the outcome. I myself refer to it as the "STAR" principle for Situation, Task, Action, Results. The "TASK" is to explain what YOU did in the situation you are describing. Often people will answer questions stating "we" did this and "we" did that, without mentioning what he/she specifically did.
