It is a good idea to keep an ongoing and updated list of factual information so it is available instantly when you need it. Your list should include:

• Names and dates of the schools you attended
• Information about your academic program
• Addresses where you lived
• Jobs you have held
• The names of your supervisors
• Reasons for leaving jobs
• Honors you have received in school or at work
• After-school activities at school
• Community service activities
• Non-school related activities, such as travel sports
• Your social security number
• Special skills you have mastered on your own or in school
• Names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of at least three references  (with their prior approval) you will use

Over time, you will drop the oldest and the least useful information and substitute more current information.

Don’t sell yourself short in the personal inventory. If you were assistant captain of a local sports team, make note of that. You may need that fact some day to show leadership skills.
