You Need a Career Brag Sheet
In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of technology, it’s crucial to keep track of your accomplishments and contributions. Whether you’re a software developer, project manager, or any other tech professional, having a brag sheet can be a game-changer when it comes to your career progression and personal growth.
What Is A Brag Sheet?
I have been in the tech space for about 8 years now. I worked on many different teams and projects during that time period. It would be impossible for me to remember the small details and tasks of every project that I have been apart of which is why I am a strong believer in documentation.
A brag sheet is a document or a spreadsheet that lists your achievements, projects, and accomplishments. It’s a summary of what you’ve done and what you’ve achieved in your role. A brag sheet should be updated regularly and should include quantifiable metrics, such as the number of projects you’ve completed, the revenue generated, or the number of clients you’ve served. It should also highlight any new skills you’ve learned, any certifications you’ve earned, and any awards or recognition you’ve received. Be very detailed in the process. The more you write down, the less you are forced to try to remember.
