To get the job you want and want the job you get, you must first examine your accomplishments. Your talents and accomplishments must be matched with available positions. An employer must know and understand your qualifications, experience, and accomplishments
Begin by preparing a complete inventory and a complete history of work-related activities, starting with your present or most recent position through every position you have held. If your job history is short or if your are looking for your first job, don't despair. You have many experiences on a part-time or even on a volunteer basis. The most important factors to potential employers are your specific accomplishments. All accomplishments, whether exceedingly significant, routine or regular in nature, are of potential value. Please list as many as possible on the following worksheets.
What you have done or accomplished is what you have to offer or sell to an employer. Elaborate - do not be shy about your achievements. Examine each situation and determine "what" specifically you did to improve the situation. Quantify the specific results you produced for the organization. After you have completed the exercise, examine each. Now rank them in order of importance, not importance to you, but to an employer, with number 1 being the most important.
