Share what you want to improve next year

Leaving out areas for improvement could be a missed opportunity to make the evaluation a pitch to your boss about what skills you would like to learn or ideas you want to explore.

If you want to move up the corporate ladder, ensure your self-evaluation reflects that. If you feel you are ready for more responsibility or a promotion, express that.

Don't blame others for your setbacks

Using the pandemic as an excuse for not performing your job in the best way is not going to put you in the best light.

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

Keep track of your accomplishments and results

It's difficult to remember in December what you worked on in February.
