Assignment - Reflecting on Your Skills, Goals, and Accomplishments

PART 1: ABOUT ME

Answer the following questions to capture how you see yourself, in terms of values, aspirations, key qualities, goals, strengths, and areas of growth:

1) Find a quote or saying that captures your values, motivations, and aspirations and share it here.

2) Describe some of your main personal, academic, and professional goals.

3) What are some of your strength areas? Think about the top 2-3 skills you would advertise about yourself, or consider what others come to you for advice about.

4) What are some areas you would like to grow and improve in?

PART 2: ACCOMPLISHMENT STATEMENTS

Accomplishments don't have to be as large as climbing the top of Mount Everest or starting your own company. We accomplish many things in our lives every day that have meaning. For example, perhaps you organized volunteers for your school's food drive, or made an extremely profitable sale. Or, if you're more advanced in your career, perhaps you've received a promotion or special recognition.

1) Think about each of your accomplishments in these terms:

Challenge - Situation, problem, or requirement.

Action - Specific actions you took to resolve or meet the challenge.

Result - The benefit created in specific and measurable terms. Be sure to tie results to the organization's goals when possible.

Details - Clarifying details, such as numbers or percentages, to provide context (consider answering how many, how much, how long, or how often).

2) Write two stories to practice using this format:

Challenge - Situation, problem, or requirement.

Action - Specific actions you took to resolve or meet the challenge.

Result - The benefit created in specific and measurable terms. Be sure to tie results to the organization's goals when possible.

Details - Clarifying details, such as numbers or percentages, to provide context (consider answering how many, how much, how long, or how often).

3) Now, try writing your two accomplishment stories concisely for a résumé or CV:

Formula 1: Result + action + brief description including clarifying details.

Formula 2: Action + brief description with clarifying details + results.

PART 3: REFLECT ON YOUR EXPERIENCES

1) How has reflecting on your goals, strengths, areas of growth, and accomplishments been valuable for you?

2) What are ways you can build in a regular practice of reflection?

3) In your current understanding of the 10 Skills, identify 1-2 skills that you believe have helped you reach the accomplishments listed in Part 2. Briefly explain how.

4) After practicing writing your accomplishments in a CV or résumé-appropriate style, do you feel more confident in expressing your accomplishments to an employer? Briefly explain.
