Accomplishments don’t have to be as large as climbing the top of Mount Everest or starting your own company. We accomplish many things in our lives every day that have meaning. For example, perhaps you organized volunteers for your school’s food drive or made an extremely profitable sale. Or, if you’re more advanced in your career, perhaps you’ve received a promotion or special recognition.
In this part of the assignment, you’ll identify two accomplishments from work, school, volunteering, or other activities. You’ll then practice communicating these in ways appropriate for a résumé.
To begin, brainstorm accomplishments from your work, school, volunteering, or other activities. Read theAccomplishment Categoriessection for a list. After you’ve identified two accomplishments, write statements for each accomplishment using the information below:
Step 1:Think about each of your accomplishments in these terms:
Challenge | Situation, problem, or requirement. |
Action | Specific actions you took to resolve or meet the challenge. |
Result | The benefit created in specific and measurable terms. Be sure to tie results to the organization’s goals when possible. |
Details | Clarifying details, such as numbers or percentages, to provide context (consider answering how many, how much, how long, or how often). |
Consider the example below of someone with experience as a retail manager:
Challenge | An increase in customer complaints about the helpfulness of staff. |
Action | Developed a new training program for staff, got approval from district manager, and once approved implemented it with a regular review process. |
Result | After 3 months, customer complaints decreased. |
Details | Previously, customer complaints averaged 4 per week.
After 3 months, complaints averaged 1 or less per week. |
Step 2:Writetwo accomplishment statements to practice using this format:
Challenge | |
Action | |
Result | |
Details |
Challenge | |
Action | |
Result | |
Details |
Step 3:Now, try writing your two accomplishment statements concisely for a résumé (you will not be completing a resume).Use either example formatbelow to write your accomplishments:
Accomplishment Statement 1: Result + action + brief description including clarifying details. |
Example: Decreased customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week by training staff and implementing a regular review process. |
Accomplishment Statement 2: Action + brief description with clarifying details + results. |
Example: Trained retail staff in customer-service techniques and implemented a regular review process, decreasing customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week. |
