Journal Your Way to Your Next Job

Posted by : Barbara Safani No Comments

I often remind job seekers that past performance is the best predictor of future success. Recruiters and hiring managers assessing candidates are looking for proof that you can do the job. One
of the best ways to assess that is reviewing your accomplishments from similar roles.
However, it can be difficult to remember what you’ve done!

That’s why I created an accomplishments journal. It includes 365 daily prompts to help you identify and track your accomplishments throughout the year. You can either write down a specific accomplishment from that day or use the prompt to help you think of a recent accomplishment. You don’t have to use the specific prompt for that day — but they are there to help give you some inspiration.

Keep the journal somewhere you’ll refer to it each day. Taking a few minutes to complete the prompts
will make it easier for you to update your résumé and LinkedIn profile. When possible, quantify your accomplishments: specify numbers, percentages, and dollar amounts. Be as detailed as possible with your responses.
