Reading: Self-Evaluation Performance Phrases by Puja Lalwani

This article offered good phrasing options when completing a self evaluation at work.  My employer has recently done away with the self evaluation process; but, prior to that time, it was a dreaded time of the year for us all.

I highlighted one sentence in the third paragraph, which is:

"In order to be more prepared, you can choose to maintain a record of your activities throughout the year, and the skills and qualities you have developed or have noticed the lack of in this period."

This is something I learned to do. I simply kept a small notebook beside my computer, on my desk.  I learned that you don't need 20 examples of what you accomplished over the year, but rather, 5 or 6 would be sufficient.  When I write my self evaluation, I pull from these 5 or 6 throughout the questions.
