Great video. Currently typing up my self assessment I have been dreading. I put it off for months and now it is due tomorrow. I wish I had started with watching this video it would've help put so much into perspective.
I am having a difficult time setting my goals. In my current position I am extremely over worked and have been feeling burned out for some time. We are understaffed and it's taken a toll on my performance. I work with families who have a loved one that needs caregiving assistance. I have not been meeting deadlines with projects, because I have to re prioritize daily. It has affected the turn around time on my follow up calls to parents and I have some parents that have been upset. I'm not used to this because typically parents love my customer service and quick follow ups. I finally have support and am catching up and I acknowledge that I could have improved my time management but I was just so burned out I had a hard time focusing on work. I want to acknowledge my faults but also highlight my strengths such as conflict resolution, project management and effective problem solving but I feel like setting goals to improve my time management will also take away from that. I'm so conflicted.
Jennifer, thank you for those words of wisdom. One gigantic point that you made was to focus on your strengths and how to improve on what you are already good at. That is a game changer for me who typically focuses on my shortcomings (not necessarily in a self-assessment, but in general and I'm betting that it prevents me from shining the way I can.) Best 9 min I've spent in a long time!
Working on my self review for work right now, and honestly, the don't be bashful part I feel that. I am always so uncomfortable talking about the things I achieved.
Thank you! I’ve been with a company for a year, furloughed for 6 months, new management and written up for medical reasons (not calling in daily while in icu and almost died) and again for not performing to standards which are higher for me than the rest of department. The situation is equivalent to bullying under our new manager. Everyday I did something wrong even when I didn’t they put a twist on it that I did something wrong. I feel the self appraisal will be my time to shine and help me regain focus to mend. Now to watch your videos.
With the work you do for your self appraisal: use it in your self review (obviously), then don't be afraid to use it to start marketing yourself for a new job!
I ended up getting fired on Monday which was a blessing in disguise. I had an interview w a new business today. Received my personal belongings and my things were literally destroyed or missing. Very glad I did my self appraisal before leaving and glad to be moving on. The place was TOXIC!!

I have mine this week and totally forgot I was supposed to be doing extra stuff. I feel like I’ve been swamped with the customer service end without being given enough time to participate in other projects. I don’t know what to say
Jennifer this was a great video. First view but I subscribed and liked. This week is my last to turn it my first year end self-eval at a new company. Thanks! -Michael
@@JenniferBrick Appreciate that Jennifer! I’ve used your goal setting for 2020 video now as well, really helpful. This company/position is my first where such standardized evaluation and a request for SMART goals have been placed, and its really difficult to have such clearly defined goals when you can’t predict the future. Thanks again - I have a lot to watch here :)
I have a self evaluation to do and I’m not sure if I should put outstanding (the highest) or not do it at all because I don’t want to come off as full of myself! I put exceeds expectations last time (I was fairly new) I’ve gotten so many compliments and appraisals/recognitions this year and worked my butt off.
Ok you’ve convinced me to put the best score. I have tons of receipts and my supervisors have really gave me tons of recognition multiple times. :) it’s uncomfortable for me to put it but I don’t want to regret it
I hate the self appraisals and goal setting. Is like putting in the same thing every year , is so frustrating and confusing to fill these out. I hate them and probably why my raises every year are crap! I just self appraise with the numbers but never type anything on comments because I just don't know what to say or what goes where. 🤦🏽♀️
Hi Jennifer love ur vids. I’m a new hire and I was wondering is it a normal thing that I think about work even at home (I work 12 hours) it’s bothering me Also my colleagues make every small mistake I make into a catastrophe (they’re joking but it’s annoying and sometimes it legit scares me) One last thing. I feel like I’m an idiot when I think of quitting after getting experience (I work in a plant so it’s exhausting and to put the Cherry in top it’s toxic af here) Ur videos REALLY helped me in the last month have an awesome day
It's totally normal that the work stuff follow, just like when something is going on in your personal life you'll think about it at work too. Your coworkers likely have confidence that a sense of security from experience that you haven't established yet. It's good you're vigiliant, and try to remember that when you start to get comfortable, especially when safety is concerned. But also it's not a joke if they are doing things that could be dangerous to stress you out and that should be addressed. And you shouldn't feel like an idiot about moving on when you have experience. That's the norm these days my friend! It is up to the company to make you want to stay.
Thank you for the tips, But what I really want to know it's who's idea was this? When did this became a trend in HR? This is the manager's job. Knowing the value of the employee, measuring their performance, and adjusting it accordingly is what they get paid for in the first place. Self evaluations just sound pointless. And in my experience, they mostly are. It's the manager final say that's counted over if that employee receives a promotion, or gets to stay in the company. Self evaluations sound like a ribbon HR professionals put into something that's a bigger issue without fixing the underlaying problem, which is a fair and comprehensive way of conducting employee apprasial.
So either your manager knows what your strengths and weaknesses are or they are terrible at thier job. These are mostly pointless. Never select anything buy the highest value and let them tell you why you are not at good as what you claim. T
Do you know goals you are setting as part of your self assessment for your performance review?

this thing of self-evaluation like this feels awkward, weird and unnecessary, especially after 2 months in a job.
"...step out of your comfort zone for this brief period of time. " This hit it home for me. Thank you.

I love your video, Jennifer! Thanks for your help!
Glad it helped!
I think you are fantastic and have an excellent communication style. So, I agree with you about growing from your strengths.

Excellent topics for work related issues, fortunately I get to work remotely from home now.
Working from home is the best!

Isn't it I don't have to deal with petty colleagues & office drama
There is definitely less drama. Our it moves to slack and no one has time for that 🤣

I don't mind self assessments because it is a time to advocate for yourself. Peer reviews are what I have a problem with
What a UAQ?
Not me self reflecting around 8 mins in because I set the playback speed to 2x 😅
I want to make a more thoughtful reply when I have chance, but I'm forgetful

So you don't emphasize on the points that could have gone better?

I agree with some of the other commenters: you talk too fast
Fast speaker
