Writing your own annual review

Posted by: serotta

So, the time's come for the annual review. However, the organization requires that before you have one, you must submit your own "interpretation" of what you've done and how well you've performed over the last year. Then, your supervisor will give you your review after they've seen what you've written. The last several reviews have largely been a "he said, she said" type of review, with lots of criticism, both subtle and overt, but largely, a response to what has been written by the employee. Since the supervisor and the employee have a difference of opinion on lots of issues, ranging from the number of projects being worked on to the praise (or lack thereof) given to the employee, what over-arching ideas would be appropriate to keep in mind when writing the employee's side of the review? Again, the differences bet. the supervisor and the employee cover the gamut, and could largely be attributed to a difference in age, experience level, or any number of personality conflicts. Thanks in advance.
