I have been working with a few executives lately and they often feel challenged when it comes to identifying top career achievements. If you really are at a loss for pulling out big wins or have simply forgotten some of your greatest hits, start unpacking your treasure chest.
Now, where is this famous treasure chest? Well, it is right under your nose if you have access to any of the following:
-- Company's annual performance reviews, assessments or evaluations
-- Company-sponsored awards or special recognition tokens (there is usually a reason, you earned that award)
-- Letters of recommendations or commendations from previous employers, vendors, clients or colleagues
-- Thank you letters or emails for happy, satisfied company clients (they are generally specific in nature regarding how you helped them)
-- High-profile company projects or special assignments (focus on the complexities, your role and then the results)
-- Academic / graduate school course projects (pick the toughest assignments)
