writing an annual review about myself and dont know what to say?

Answer 1

Say what you did, unless you didn't do anything. Then maybe you should write your goals for the new year. Most of all, I think that something quantitive is better than statements like this: "I did a great job helping the team this year. We did well." Depending on what you do at your job, you may just want to list the projects you completed. This is a time to brag. Take responsibility for what you did.

Answer 2

Speak briefly about what you have accomplished for the company in the last year first. Example:

1. In 2006, I developed a matrix for better distribution of backordered inventory and saved the company whatever dollars.

2. In 2006, I implement the whatever software system in my department, which made my team whatever percent more efficient.

Be brief and to the point.

Then list how you feel you've grown professionally over the past year. Example:

1. My department suffered from not only financial cutbacks, but two key employees relocated and left the department. These shortages helped me learn how to be efficient, how to think more clearly under pressure, and how to appreciate my employees for everything they do.

2. The changes in the global financial climate have been intimidating to me, but this year I took whatever seminar and whatever class, and I feel much more confident in my skills and my ability to meet new challenges.

Now you have to list areas in which you feel you need to improve, AND list the action you will take to do so. Example:

1. I still feel uncomfortable dealing with personality conflicts that occur from time to time within my department. I am researching development classes in this area, and I am planning on taking whatever class to help me improve my skills in that area.

2. While I have made improvements in meeting the challenges in the global economy, I feel that I still have room for growth, and I plan on taking such and such seminar and whatever class in order to learn more and sharpen the new skills I developed last year.

Then Wrap It Up:

Overall I am pleased with my performance over the past year, and I am looking forward to learning and growing professionally so that I can encourage and assist my department in becoming the best they can be as well.

Good luck! (I mean good luck to you. Don't put that on your eval.!)

Answer 3

Just make an outline and put some points down and then write off the points. Write about how you felt you performed your job functions and where u feel like u need to improve on

Answer 4

Guess I'd better start thinking about mine - it comes up on anniversary dates instead of year end. Did you set yourself some goals? Did you go beyond the call of duty? Did you find shortcuts in performing your job? Were you a team player? What goals will you set for yourself for the upcoming year? Would you like to take on more responsibility. If your company encourages continuing education, what courses would you like to take?

Answer 5

Go over the top. I had to do this years ago. I gave myself the maximum number of points and wrote glowing notes in every section. They never asked me to review myself again.

Answer 6

Use numbers to show how you improved upon (whatever--productivity, quotas, etc.). Also put in what you would like to improve--attendance, daily quota, or what you would like to improve-attitudes of coworkers, etc. Good luck and peace!
