Working with students, the most impactful thing you can do for your existing career or a new job search is collect evidence of your success. Some examples include performance reviews, comments, letters, or emails from satisfied customers or co-workers, awards, brochures you have created or processes you have created or improved within your position or department.
When it comes time for your annual or quarterly review or you are preparing to write or improve your resume, evidence will help you “prove” why you are an asset. These pieces of evidence will also give you the language you need to describe your skills and accomplishments. Plus, if you are seeking a promotion or an interview, you can combine a lot of these tangible items into a professional portfolio to help your supervisor or prospective employer understand your strengths.
Consider spending the next few months slowly gathering awards, accolades, and achievements in a box near your desk. By summer, you will be surprised how much you have accomplished!
