EVALUATING YOUR PERFORMANCE

This chapter described the importance of analyzing what went right and what went wrong after taking a test. At work, regularly evaluating your performance helps you identify strengths and weaknesses, set goals, make adjustments, and, ultimately, become a more effective, efficient, and valuable employee. In fact, you may be asked to provide a self-evaluation in a performance review or discuss your approach to self-evaluation in a job interview.

To practice self-evaluation, print out a copy of this chart and record a self-rating for each item using the scale provided.
