Accomplishments / Achievements / Successes

Refer to the following questions to refresh your memory regarding accomplishments and achievements when completing the following pages (regarding professional experience) for each position. Remember— people hire RESULTS (accomplishments and achievements) and look to past performance as an indication of the value you offer.

Ask yourself how the company is better off now than when they hired you. Here are some suggestions to start you thinking:

Did you increase sales / productivity / volume? Please provide percentage or amount.
Did you generate new business or increase client base? How? What were the circumstances?
Did you forge affiliations, partnerships or strategic alliances that impacted company success? With who and what were the results?
Did you save your company money? If so, how and by how much?
Did you design and/or institute any new system or process? If so, what were the results?
Did you meet an impossible deadline through extra effort? If so what difference did this make to your company?
Did you bring a major project in under budget? If so, how did you make this happen? What was the budget? What were you responsible for saving in terms of time and/or money?
Did you conceive, design or (help) launch a new product or program? If so, did you take the lead or provide support? How successful was the effort? What were the results?
Did you assume new responsibilities that weren’t part of your job? Were they assigned or did you do so proactively? Why were you selected?
Did you introduce any new or more effective systems, processes or techniques for increasing productivity? What was the result?
Did you improve communication in your firm? If so, with whom and what was the outcome?
How did your company benefit from your performance?
Did you complete any special projects? What were they and what was the result?

It might help to describe accomplishments / achievements using the following CAR acronym:

C = Challenge (think of a challenge you faced or problem you had to resolve)
A = Action (what action did you take?)
R = Results (what was the result of the action you took? What was the value to the company?
