Eek...I don't think I *have* any "big successes". I've never headed up any big projects. I've always been just a team member...a bitty cog in the great workings of whatever-my-department-was-called. I'd like to think I'm a very good and dependable bitty cog, but I guess that's not likely what they're thinking about. And the few projects I have headed up haven't been anything important...something like just inventorying a companies computer assets for the first time isn't very impressive when the company is only 50 people or so.

I shall ponder, I guess. And writing stuff down is a good idea. It's the best way to sort out thoughts, IMO.

No, Rosie, inventorying those computer assets for the first time was a big deal to the company involved. It's not the size of the project, it's the worth of the project.

Talk about that project, how you set it up, how it was received by the company.

Yeah, the success doesn't have to be *big*, just meaningful... for instance, it could be a particularly difficult problem on a single computer, that you were able to diagnose and fix. In other words, some success that you took particular satisfaction in achieving.
