Ted Goas

Ted Goas advocates creating a 'brag document'—a regularly updated record of career achievements, skills, feedback, and lessons learned. This living resume serves as a valuable resource during performance reviews, job interviews, and career planning. It ensures accomplishments are not forgotten and provides tangible examples to showcase impact. Goas advises making it a habit to update regularly, include specific details, metrics, and feedback to substantiate achievements. While initially tedious, a well-maintained brag document streamlines performance reviews, strengthens cases for raises or promotions, and keeps long-term goals aligned with recent accomplishments.
