Transform Your Impact with the RAS Formula
What is the RAS Formula?
- Result: Start with the quantifiable outcome of your actions. How did your work impact the company? Use numbers, percentages, or specific achievements to demonstrate your success.
- Action: Describe the actions you took to achieve the results. Use strong action verbs to highlight your skills and contributions.
- Situation: Provide context for your actions and results. Briefly explain the challenge or situation you faced.

To help you apply the RAS formula, we’ve created a handy worksheet:

Key Benefits of RAS:
