Document yourself: a framework for career advancement

The power of recognizing your successes and goals as you go along.
March 09, 2021

Putting a case together for your own career progression can feel overwhelming – but by documenting yourself as you go along, it becomes a much more manageable task.

My first job in tech was as a support engineer at a Visual Effects studio. It was an entry-level, foot-in-the-door job. My manager knew everyone on their team was just waiting for their break, so she made it her job to prepare us for the next step. She taught us how to document our success, plan our goals, and get us the skills we needed to make it easy for the next hiring manager to take us on.
