Don't be vague. Be specific in mentioning relevant progress

Vague statements include being a good co-worker, well-organised or a good communicator.

  • Instead, mention specific and relevant accomplishments. Share how they happened and why you could achieve them. Ensure to quantify the impact it had on the business.
  • If you don't know how to mention a win, ask yourself why it mattered. What was the effect?
  • Consider the people you work with (your manager, colleagues, customers). Gather emails, reports and communications that support your work, then ask yourself what you did to make their life easier and how you can improve?
