Accomplishments and Achievements: how to recall those for your resume

No-one can answer all these questions with strong stories. The idea is to read through them and answer those that fit for you and your experience, and write a short version of the story that comes to mind.

You don't need to memorize it, or write it down in detail. You just need to remember it and then afterwards think through and come up with the major skills that allowed to you do that thing.

Then in an interview, when asked about certain skills, or times when you did certain things, you will have these stories fresh in your mind.

Telling a story is powerful and gives better proof of your abilities than just a list of skills could ever do.

1. Describe a time when you proved your ability as a problem solver. What was the situation, and what was your solution?
2. Describe a time when you realized there was a need for something in a work situation, and then took the initiative to fill that need in an appropriate way.
3. Have you ever helped someone else, at work, to achieve a goal that was important to them? Tell me about it.
4. Employers love people who can save them money. Have you ever come up with an idea, or done something that saved your employer money? What was it?
5. Have you ever come up with something that saved time at work? Explain.
6. What on the job training have you found most useful. Describe it and the difference it made.
7. Have you ever received any award or recognition in the workplace, or for community service?
8. If you have had various different jobs in your life, can you explain how your next employer will benefit from this?
