Postion Accomplishments Worksheet: Free Job Search Tool

Sometimes the tools that you use to create your resume can be used for your other job search needs such as LinkedIn, interviewing, career assessment, a cover letter or networking. The Position/Responsibilities/Accomplishments Worksheet© is an example.

I created is tool as a handy device to capture a candidate’s accomplishments in both technical skills and soft skills and align them to the requirements needed in an open position. (Now that I think about it, this tool can be used for identifying a customer’s needs in relation to a sales call too). 

The idea behind this tool is to list the job requirements of the open position on the left side of the document and on the right, list your accomplishments that support or align to these. For example, if the open position requires that a candidate develop technical specifications for procurement and contractual services, you would list that requirement on the left side of the worksheet and one right-hand side, list examples of your experience doing the same thing, the money you saved, any processes you created to simplify or manage the procurement process, ensure the accuracy of the procurement process, etc.

The worksheet can help you add specific, measurable examples to your resume, cover letter or LinkedIn profile and in addition, allow you to provide strong, results-oriented examples to some of your interviewing questions.  Here is an example of the tool for your use.

 

Based upon your examples you will see your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for growth, etc. It is a rather simple worksheet but as uncomplicated as it is, it is designed to allow you to align a position to your strengths.
