Presenting Yourself Professionally Persuasive Concise Action-oriented Targeted Flawless

How To Begin THINK FIRST – “What have I done?” WRITE NEXT – write it all down THINK MORE about what you’ve done 1. What have I accomplished? 2. What problems have I solved? 3. What difference did I make? 4. What measurable impact did I have?
