What is a 1-page case snapshot and how do you create it?

What it is

A 1-page case snapshot is a single page that tells a quick story:

• What problem existed
• What you did
• What results happened
• Why that matters for the new company

Think of it like a movie trailer for your work.

It’s not your whole life story. It’s one strong example.

How to create it (easy steps)

Use this simple layout:

Title: The problem you solvedContext: What was going on (team size, company type, constraints)What I did: 3 bullet actionsResults: 2–4 bullet results with numbersWhy it matters for you: 1–2 lines connecting it to the target employer

Example (full mini snapshot)

Title: Fixed missed deadlines in a growing operations team

Context:

• Team of 12
• Deadlines slipping every week
• Too many urgent tasks, no clear ownership

What I did:

• Set up a simple weekly planning system
• Created clear owners for each task
• Tracked progress in one shared dashboard

Results:

• On-time delivery improved from 60% to 90% in 10 weeks
• Reduced last-minute emergencies by about 40%
• Leaders got a clear weekly view of what was blocked

Why it matters for (Target Company):

• If your team is growing fast, this same “clarity + ownership” system keeps delivery reliable without burning everyone out.
