Don’t Wait Until After Election Day
Download this Gathering Your Metrics guide to set yourself up for success in your job search.
As GOTV ramps up, your schedule is packed — but don’t forget: your campaign is ending soon. Before the dust settles, take time to prepare for what’s next.
Our Gathering Your Metrics guide is built to help you transition smoothly from campaign life to your next opportunity — especially while you still have access to key data and systems.
Why This Guide Matters
Your campaign experience is valuable — but only if you know how to tell the story. This guide walks you through how to collect your metrics, reflect on your work, and turn your accomplishments into a resume that stands out.
Designed with organizing staff in mind, but helpful for any campaign role, this guide includes:
✅ A step-by-step checklist of what to do after Election Day
✅ How to gather and use campaign metrics before access disappears
✅ Tips for translating your campaign experience into resume-ready language
✅ Advice for staff in non-organizing roles to highlight their impact
