Your brag document should tell a story, not just list actions. When adding a log:
Explain the context and your specific role
Describe the broader significance of the work
Include measurable outcomes (e.g., "Improved test performance by 300%")
Don't overlook "fuzzy" work like process improvements or mentorship
A brag document isn't just for performance reviews. Use it as a personal development tool:
Identify themes in your work - tagging is a great way to spot these.
Reflect on what projects you're most proud of
Understand your professional growth and skill development
Plan future learning and career goals
Pro Tips
Be honest and factual about your achievements
Include both technical and soft skills
Consider tracking accomplishments outside of work
