Assessing your skills and accomplishments
Take some time to think about your accomplishments and create a list: things that you did well, enjoy doing, and were proud of. Include education/training, volunteer opportunities, jobs, projects, school assignments, travel, and group/team activities. Describe in detail what you did, why you did it, and who you did it with, what equipment you used, and what happened. Quantify your results, if possible, and use commonly understood terminology. Identify the personal strengths and skills that you use to achieve your accomplishments. Don’t be humble; this is your chance to promote your skills and abilities.
