Why Accomplishments Matter

The world of work is rapidly changing and for many, it can be a challenge to just find a job, let alone a job that is providing the foundation for career growth and advancement. Technology, Globalization, Pandemics, Politics, and Economics are all contributing to how the world of work is changing and evolving. One of the key elements to your success in navigating the "new world of work" is to understand that employers want to have a high- level overview of what you have achieved during your career. It is your accomplishments that can help differentiate yourself between other job seekers who are seeking the same job that you are going for.

Why do your Accomplishments Matter?

1. They give your future employer a window into things you can do that go above and beyond the normal tasks of the job.
2. Accomplishments tell a story about the special aspects of who you are.
3. Your accomplishments can reveal challenges and obstacles that you had to overcome in order to be successful.
4. Accomplishments can showcase your leadership skills. Organizations tend to look more favorably on individuals who can display leadership skills.
5. When you highlight your accomplishments on your resume, you make easier for those interviewing you to get the information they need to make an informed hiring decision.

Accomplishments are one aspect of who you are and don't give the complete picture. However, accomplishments can hold the key to getting the job and not getting the job. We are in a very competitive marketplace and showcasing your accomplishments is a great way to have you stand out from the crowd.
