Fearless Résumés

WRITING AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
For example, in the following sentences, the skill is underlined
and the rest of the sentence describes an accomplishment.

Managed the finance department for a large grocery chain.
Assembled semiconductors for use in a defense company.
Diagnosed and treated over six patients per day in a pri-
vate clinic.
Wrote reports on the earthquake preparedness of govern-
ment buildings.

So, for the next exercise, I’m going to ask you to pencil in at least
one accomplishment. If you can think of two, that’s great, but the
second one is optional for this exercise.
We’re going to use these accomplishments as placeholders for
now, because in the next chapter, you’re going to learn a proven
way to make your accomplishments really shine.

ing spaces:
