What to Know |
|
|
|
In order to show your worth to an employer, you must provide facts about yourself.
This requires you to gather information about yourself: your experience, training,
accomplishments, personal information, military record, etc.
One way to assemble and organize this data is by creating a Career Catalog. It is
an up-to-date summary of your qualifications. You may want to collect copies of
documents in a loose-leaf notebook with pockets so that you can add to the materials
over time. Spouses can use the same catalog by deleting items that do not pertain
to them.
Among the types of records you should collect in your Career Catalog are: |
