Using the DATA model (Part Two)

Earlier we introduced the DATA model developed by William Bridges and
discussed the D, which stands for desire.

The first A-stands for abilities because your skills and abilities are the
tools you have for sale. However, while the tools are valuable, their value
must be validated by statements of accommplishment demonstrating how you
have used them. The more validation you can provide, the more value will be
imputed to the tools. Where ever possible, quatify what you have done. Make
statements like, "Increased sales by 50% in two years," or Lead a team of 15
engineers to produce 6 new products in an 18 month period. All such
statements should be as powerful as possible and completely true to the
extent of your knowledge.

More on the DATA model later,

Good Day and Good Work,
