Narrative Instructions
Candidate Narrative
Instructions:
The Candidate Narrative aspect of the CPD & Candidate Information Program has become the single most potent tool that you can have in your arsenal of marketing products in 2010.
When preparing this Candidate Narrative (CN) please write it in the third person, not the first. Describe the candidate as if you were a recruiter marketing you. After all you have to know "you" better than anyone else. You are the one that actually will show up for the interviews if you “get NOTICED.” Please give yourself a great, well thought out track to run on when you represent yourself.
We do understand that this exercise is not easy, but many candidates have said it was very worthwhile, especially in the beginning stages or setting. DCG has used the Narrative, Descriptor, Profile, and the Sales Report as part of CIP for the last five years. Most recently in the WSJ, and the Atlanta Constitution, the narrative has been touted as the tool to use to get a new job. Please mimic what you see in the example below in Word Format.
Here are some concepts below that you can use to write the Narrative.
Accomplishments
Competencies
Potentials
Risk: Leaders take risks, managers do not

As I have said above, this activity will be difficult, but it worth it. Once done you will never have to do it again. More importantly, you will always be able to talk about yourself as an opportunity.
Good hunting.
