As Laura McKain, MD discussed on Episode #68 of
The Career Rx Podcast, a career-oriented Swipe File is a repository of documents for you to consult anytime you need to produce evidence of your skills or accomplishments. For instance, you may refer to it for inspiration when:
- Revising or updating your CV/Resume
- Preparing for an interview
- Setting professional goals
- Providing an introductory personal biography
- Preparing for a performance review
- Asking for a promotion
- Negotiating a raise
It contains both documents that detail your own career journey as well as inspirational examples that you come across from the journey of others.
This guide will help you curate a rich Swipe File to ensure that you always have all the materials at hand that you need to you navigate career transition or advancement.
