CV / résumé

CV / özgeçmiş

A document organising your experience, education and relevant skills for an application. The target role and employer instructions guide what you include.

Example: Highlighting a reporting example for a data role.

Applications

Cover letter

Ön yazı

A text explaining why you are applying and how relevant experience may contribute. It does not need to repeat every CV bullet.

Example: A short paragraph connecting a project decision to a role requirement.

Applications

Job listing

İş ilanı

An announcement describing a role and application expectations. Separating missing or unclear details into questions helps your research.

Example: Adding a question to company notes when the work location is unclear.

Applications

Application

Başvuru

Information and documents you submit through an employer’s chosen channel to apply for a role. A personal tracker entry does not submit an application.

Example: Recording the date and listing link after submitting.

Applications

Follow-up

Takip mesajı

A subsequent message asking about the status or next step of an earlier conversation. It briefly preserves the previous context.

Example: Naming the discussed role when requesting a process update.

Applications

Shortlist

Kısa liste

A smaller group of candidates, roles or options selected for closer consideration. Your country shortlist is not an official eligibility result.

Example: Focusing on three roles from ten you reviewed.

Experience and evidence

Evidence

Kanıt / dayanak

Work or information you can show to support a claim. Distinguish sample-data exercises from real client outcomes.

Example: A shareable query and explanation supporting a SQL skill claim.

Experience and evidence

Portfolio

Portfolyo

A presentation of selected work and your contribution. Explaining which skill each example demonstrates helps the reader.

Example: Two project cases with a personal-contribution note for each.

Experience and evidence

Case study

Vaka anlatımı

A structured account of a problem, context, decisions and outcome. It offers more context than showing only a finished output.

Example: Explaining why a report was redesigned and the decision you made.

Experience and evidence

Action / contribution

Eylem / katkı

What you did or decided in an event. Describe it without treating the team’s entire achievement as your individual contribution.

Example: I cleaned the data; another team member prepared the presentation.

Experience and evidence

Outcome

Sonuç

A change or observation following work. State limits rather than presenting unmeasured impact as a precise number.

Example: Showing that a new workflow works without inventing unmeasured time savings.

Experience and evidence

Transferable skills

Aktarılabilir beceriler

Skills that can be used across roles or settings. An example of applying them to a new problem makes the connection clear.

Example: Using problem-triage skills from customer support in analysis.

Team communication

Feedback

Geri bildirim

Observations about work or behaviour that can support improvement or a decision. Asking for a concrete example can make general feedback more useful.

Example: Asking which part was unclear instead of relying only on “write more clearly”.

Team communication

Stakeholder

Paydaş

A person or group interested in, influencing or affected by work. Stakeholders on one project may have different expectations.

Example: The team building a report and the operations team using it.

Team communication

Asynchronous communication

Asenkron iletişim

Communication that does not require participants to be online together. Clear context and next steps make it easier to follow.

Example: Sharing decision reasoning and a question awaiting a response in one note.

Team communication

Handover

İş devri

Passing on status, resources and open issues so someone else can continue work. Separate completed work from what remains.

Example: Leaving a file link, current status and next action together.

Team communication

Clarification

Açıklama isteme

Asking a question to make an unclear expectation or statement more precise. Separate what you understand from what is missing.

Example: Asking about audience and delivery format when told to prepare a report.

Team communication

Retrospective

Geriye dönük değerlendirme

Reviewing what worked, what was difficult and what to change after a period of work. A personal weekly review can use this approach.

Example: Choosing one process improvement at the end of a week.

Planning

Goal

Hedef

A desired state or result. Defining an output separately from study time helps you see progress.

Example: Preparing one sample report rather than only studying for two hours.

Planning

Scope

Kapsam

The boundary of work included and excluded. Clear scope helps keep a small project finishable.

Example: Focusing on one workflow rather than an entire product for a portfolio case.

Planning

Deliverable

Teslim çıktısı

A concrete product planned for sharing or review at the end of work. Its format and completion condition can be stated upfront.

Example: A one-page case summary and a working example link.

Planning

Milestone

Ara hedef

A point marking completion of an important stage in larger work. It does not mean the remaining work is finished.

Example: Completing a first CV draft while final review remains open.

Planning

Priority

Öncelik

An item you choose to address before others. You can reorder priorities as time or circumstances change and record why.

Example: Preparing interview examples before learning another tool this week.

Planning

Dependency

Bağımlı adım

Work or information needed before another task can start or finish. A separate open question explains why progress is waiting.

Example: Learning the employer’s required format before sending a file.
