4-5 Organize Your Experience
PART A: Look at each of your work and related experiences collected in Career Action
Worksheet 4-1, Career Action Worksheet 4-2, and Career Action Worksheet 4-4 in
greater detail. Identify which achievements you would like to highlight for each work
experience and put them in order by “wow” factor. Note any evidence you have to
support the achievement. Evidence can be presentations, reports, positive feedback
received, and so on.

Add your completed work to the “About Jobs” section of your Career Builder Files.
PART B: Revise the resume outline you started in Career Action Worksheet 4-2 to
include all of your work experiences, in chronological order. Each bullet point under
each experience should be prioritized by what you want the employer to see first and
written using the WHI format. Later, when you are preparing for interviews, your list of
evidence will help you collect the right documents to take to an interview so that you
have physical evidence to support your achievements as you discuss them with an
interviewer. You should now have a first draft of your resume.
Add your updated first draft resume to the “About Jobs” section of your Career Builder Files.
