Elements of a successful PR – what do I look for? • The story conveys the trajectory of the candidate • Trajectory increases as the career progresses • Conveyed through the evidence • Conveyed through the closing statement – where is the candidate headed? • Sustained trajectory is the expectation post-Assistant rank • Beyond the story (program narrative) • Strongest supporting evidence in the tables and called out in the narrative • Evidence of good citizenship • Leadership • Team work, with role • Service – increasing expectations as one progresses • Mentoring
X What I am not looking for • Length • A complete list of everything a person did • Activities with no accomplishments • To complete a checklist • To put it in perspective: • What does a candidate really want to share that I can read, digest, synthesize, and reflect upon in about 90 min • The reflection is on the package and program as a whole
