When an application or conversation asks about your experience, start with what you did. While it's fresh, save a few examples: the task you took on, something you made, feedback you received or a change you can explain. Be clear about your part and give other people credit for theirs. Describe a choice you made and what you learned when something was difficult. A small project or mixed result can still give you something honest and specific to say.
Talk it through
- Which action in this project was your own responsibility?
- What example backs up what you want to say about your work?
- What would you change if you tried the same work again?
Try this next
- Choose one recent responsibility and note the situation, your actions and what happened.
- Find a suitable record of your work without including other people's private information.
- Write a short description and check that every claim matches your actual contribution.
