Template 3 · Turnaround & Rescue

Show how you rescued
a product that was on fire.

This template is for ugly stories: failing products, broken bets, and teams that inherited a mess. It helps you tell a turnaround story without getting lost in drama—focusing instead on diagnosis, reset, and measurable recovery.

  • Great for turnaround, rescue, and refocus stories with real stakes.
  • Structures how you diagnosed the problem, reset the plan, and managed risk.
  • Shows the before/after clearly so hiring managers can see the delta.

Use this template in FolioHub when you want to show you can handle complexity and heat—not just clean greenfield work.
