Self Reviews

goals

Twice each year, I find it useful evaluate my professional life. The introspective few hours spent looking at past performance and setting goals for the future can be more useful than reviews from your peers. You know what you have done well and poorly and where you really stand to improve. Give it a try sometime in the next few months, and try to achieve your goals. It could save you from the axe in the current economic environment.

Here is a small sample of what I will be working on:

Networking: Having just moved from the East to the Midwest, I have much work to do to meet new people. I intend to become more involved in the community through recreation, volunteer work and even faith based activities.

Smiling More: Although I am proud of my general stoicism, I know it can come across as depressing at times. I have gotten much better at this, but there is room for improvement.

Increasing Efficiency: By concentrating more between the hours of 7 and 6, I hope to cut back on the late nights and weekends in the office. This may just result in more work. We will see.

  1. I really like your second point. This is one that I fully subscribe to–it’s amazing what a simple smile can do both for your own attitude and those around you.
