Summary

After reading this book, you will fully understand how to write bullets and "why" every word matters. In 2003 the author created a seminar to teach a fair and consistent process to evaluate recognition packages. This seminar transformed an entire organization within six months. Since then, the techniques have decisively transformed the writing, recognition, and promotions of every organization applying them. The practices in this book continue to positively impact the Air Force and sister services through professional military education. In addition, the concepts have helped transitioning service members and college students better communicate acquired capabilities and competencies on their résumés. Recent changes to the US Air Force enlisted promotion system make it more important to document your very best accomplishments. Under the new system, points come from the most recent enlisted performance reports (EPR). The new system requires fewer lines, so Airmen must communicate the best accomplishments and not just words that fill the white space. This book will ensure you know how to articulate not just what you are doing but also convey your strongest competencies and capabilities so the promotion board can fully assess your potential.--Provided by publisher.
