Excellent! Now that you’ve taken the time to really concentrate
on the special skills and personal characteristics that you possess,
let’s note them down for future reference so that you can refer to
them at a glance when writing your résumé or when preparing
for an interview. Choosing the skills that you like most and that
are most relevant for your future, I’d like you to assemble what I
call your skills arsenal. You may not use every single one of these
skills on the first résumé you write, but I can guarantee that your
selections will come in handy any time you wish to compose or
revise your Fearless Résumé.

Modify Your Power Proposition

Note: If you think that some of the words you include in the next
exercise are more suited to the specialties section of your power
proposition than the ones you selected when you first wrote it,
then by all means go back and change your power proposition so
that it has your most up-to-date reflection of your specialties
(skills) and your personal characteristics.
