Instructions

To navigate this multi-page guide, use the Table of Contents on the right (scroll down on mobile) or the next/previous buttons.

The worksheet includes four steps:

  1. Compose three short stories
  2. Identify skills, values, and strengths
  3. Discover recurring themes
  4. List your non-negotiable personal factors

Start by expanding on the three accomplishments from page 2 of the RRU Professional Assets Inventory or recall key professional or volunteer moments—times you overcame a challenge, acted on inspiration, or felt proud.

Why Create Stories?

  • They reveal insights into your career goals (explored further in the Career Planning module)
  • They help you to understand where you have developed your personal skills and assets
  • They are useful anecdotes during networking conversations and  answering behavioural interview questions

When ready, move to Step 1: Compose three short stories.
