Think of each job you’ve ever held, and then for each job jot down any<br />

system or procedure that you learned there. For example: “Worked in a<br />

warehouse: learned how to use a forklift and crane, inventory control,<br />

logistics automation software, warehouse management systems, JIT (just<br />

in time) techniques, teamwork principles, and how to supervise<br />

employees.”<br />

Or, “Worked at a fast food place: learned how to prepare and serve<br />

food, how to wait on customers, how to make change, how to deal with<br />

complaints, how to train new employees, etc.”<br />

PART 2. WHAT YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE OF WORK<br />

Jot down any bodies of knowledge that you picked up on your own just<br />

because the subject fascinated you, such as: antiques, gardening, cooking,<br />

budgeting, decorating, photography, crafts, spirituality, sports, camping,<br />

travel, repairing things, flea markets, scrapbooking, sewing, art<br />

appreciation at museums, how to run or work in a volunteer organization,<br />

and so on.<br />

a. Also think of anything you learned in high school (or college) that<br />

you prize knowing today: keyboarding? Chinese? accounting?<br />

geography? <strong>Is</strong> this knowledge important to you? Figure that out later;
