To get started with your first success story, simply begin to brainstorm.  Do not edit as you go.  Just write your thoughts down on paper or type them up on your computer. 

Think through each job you’ve held.  This can include both professional positions and part-time jobs you held before you launched your career.  If you have children, include motherhood as well since this is the hardest job on earth.  Also feel free to incorporate any volunteer roles you’ve held.

Here are some questions to get you started.  Think about each job you’ve held and answer these questions to help get your thought process going:

• What did I enjoy about this position?
• What assignments did I like working on?
• What assignments were easy for me to accomplish?
• What projects gave me the most satisfaction?
• When did I have the most fun at this job?
• What types of projects elicited the most compliments from managers
  and clients?
• What were my accomplishments at this position?
• What results did I produce?
• What outcomes did I affect during my time in this position?

Until next week…

Warmly,
Maret
