As you go through life (and your job)…write it down!
I ran across a great post on Blue Sky Resumes about keeping track of your career accomplishments as they happen. Great idea! Trying to remember all the impressive things you did during your tenure will be impossible (hopefully). If you’re in medical sales, laboratory sales, or pharmaceutical sales, think increasing sales numbers, new customers you added, etc.–you get the idea. If you write them down as they happen, you have a record worth it’s weight in gold that will make your resume-writing and interview-question-answering a snap. You know you’ll change jobs at some point–everyone does–so be prepared.

Great idea! Sometimes the only time I get to think about my career highlights is when I’m updating my resume. Keeping track of accomplishments as they happen can be an effective motivator. Thanks.
Great suggestion!
I encourage everyone to set up a “Kudos File”. It could be as simple as an email folder where you send notes to yourself or capture notes from others; a manila folder in a desk drawer or a note in your planner.
Every six months or so, check to see what’s in there and what new skills or experience you want to transfer to your resume.
