Key to a Great Interview!
Any story like this (where you received a reward or other recognition) is a fantastic thing to put
in your Brag Book.
Your Brag Book (aka professional portfolio) is evidence that you can do what you say you can do.
Show specific pages to illustrate an answer to an interview question, or show it as a general example
of the quality of your work. Either way, it sets you apart as someone who pays attention to details,
who is achievement-oriented, and who cares about giving your best. It definitely provides an
impressive "wow" factor.
To the hiring manager, offering you a job often feels like a risk. Many people believe that past
performance predicts future behavior, and brag books are another way to make them feel more
comfortable about hiring you.
If you haven't already, start putting your brag book together today. You will be amazed at how much it
helps your interview performance.
