Always be writing your resume. Not that you will necessarily need it to sell yourself to the next employer, but because it’s the best way to direct your actions toward accomplishments that matter. Creating your resume challenges you to tell a story about who you are, what you’re good at, and what kind of impact you’re having on the world.
This is one of those exercises where you might want to start with the end in mind. What do you want your resume to say? That you led a high performance international team; built a social platform with 100,000 followers; or placed 100 dogs in loving homes. What would show that you are mastering your role and contributing to the world around you?
Once you have written your current, and your want-to-be resume, hone in on the gaps between what you have done and what you want to accomplish. You might consider the delta to be your new goal.
