Why It Matters
Your evidence base is the foundation of everything:- CV Optimizer uses achievements to analyze your fit for roles
- AI Coach references achievements for personalized coaching
- Business Case Builder pulls achievements for proposals
- Performance Review generates reviews from your evidence
How It Works
- Title — A clear, action-oriented headline
- Description — What you accomplished
- Date — When it happened
- Category — Revenue, Leadership, Innovation, Client Success, etc.
Achievements are displayed in a Category Grid — visual groupings by category. Each achievement card shows:
STAR Format Guide
The STAR format helps you structure achievements for maximum impact:| Element | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Situation | The context or challenge | ”Our largest account ($2M ARR) was at risk of churning due to service issues…” |
| Task | What you needed to accomplish | ”I needed to retain the account and restore the relationship…” |
| Action | What you specifically did | ”I conducted a root cause analysis, created a recovery plan, coordinated with 3 internal teams, and established weekly executive check-ins…” |
| Result | The measurable outcome | ”Retained the account, grew revenue 15% to $2.3M ARR, and received a client commendation” |
Focus on Action and Result. These are the most important elements. Be specific about what YOU did, not what the team did.
Skill Linking
Link skills to each achievement to build your skill profile:- Click “Add Skills” in the achievement form
- Select skills from categories (Technical, Leadership, Communication, etc.)
- Skills appear in your achievement record and feed into Track
Draft Achievements
If you start an achievement but don’t finish, it’s saved as a draft. Find incomplete drafts in the Draft Achievements section to complete them later.Tips for Best Results
- Log as they happen — Don’t wait until review time; capture achievements while fresh
- Be specific — “Increased revenue” is weak; “Grew account revenue 23% (615K)” is strong
- Use STAR format — Structured achievements are more compelling and easier to use
- Link skills — Build your skill profile over time
- Include all types — Don’t just log revenue; include leadership, innovation, and growth
