career highlights

Notable work accomplishments

Career highlights are the most notable achievements or accomplishments in someone's professional life—the moments worth mentioning on a résumé or in an interview.

The term appears in biographical summaries, sports profiles, and LinkedIn sections: Her career highlights include two Grammy nominations and a sold-out world tour.

The phrase implies selectivity; these are the peaks, not the full trajectory.
