35 Job Performance Review Questions And Answers

21⟩ How would you set reasonable goals for improvement?

Once you have had a chance to calmly and objectively think about the criticism you have received, give yourself a few goals for improvement. These should be challenging, but completely within your grasp. Even more importantly, they should be sustainable the sorts of things you can achieve consistently. They should not be the sorts of things you can achieve once but will not be able to stick to this can leave you looking even worse than when you started.

☛ The best goals are ones with definite, quantifiable goals, not those focused on vague self-improvement. For instance, if you have been criticized for showing up late to work, it is much smarter to say to yourself, "I will go to bed at 11:00 PM and wake up at 7:00 AM every day so that I have plenty of time to make it to work," than it is to say, "I will try much harder to make it to work on time."

If your boss asks why you did not meet your sales goal for the second quarter, you can mention that supply shortages affected product deliveries during that quarter but that you put in extra time the remainder of the year and exceeded your yearly target. Supporting documents can be helpful when responding to questions. Magazine suggests that you bring a file of accolades and other proof of your accomplishments to the review.

25⟩ Why should you keep the results of your performance review to yourself?

Usually, performance reviews are the sort of thing you will want to keep to yourself about. Like your salary, this type of information can lead to jealousy and hurt feelings if you're too open about it. Do not bring up the results of your review in casual conversations. Instead, only consider discussing your review with your family, your friends outside of work, and select coworkers you have a great amount of trust in.

☛ If, for some reason, you do need to discuss your results with others, be tactful. Do not brag or joke about your results, you will never know how they will compare to your fellow coworkers'.

26⟩ Why should you move forward?

It can be difficult, but try to keep a positive mood after a negative review. Being visibly sad or sullen on the job can reflect poorly on your work, making you look like an under-performer even if you are taking other steps to improve your output. It can also call unnecessary attention to yourself, prompting your coworkers to wonder or ask about your sudden change in mood. Since supervisors know that their employees' morale can affect the business's productivity, this can get you in even more trouble.

28⟩ How would you look for opportunities for continued improvement?

Never stop trying to improve your work. Demonstrate your long term dedication to your job by trying to improve even after you have been told you are doing a good job. Remember that a positive review is not an invitation to take a break, rather, it is a sign that your employer loves the work you are doing and wants more.

☛ Keep in mind that, at most jobs, there are very real rewards to striving for excellence. For instance, if your supervisor only has one promotion to give to their employees, they will probably give it to the person that strove to improve their work, rather than one that was content getting mostly positive reviews.

29⟩ Why should you take pride in your accomplishment?

A positive performance review is something to be very proud about it is a sign that your supervisor is happy with your work and that your position is most likely secure for the near future. A positive review is almost always something you have to work hard to earn, so take the opportunity to feel good about yourself.

☛ You may even want to have a small celebration with your family and friends after a good review. This is a great idea, but be careful not to spread the word about your celebration among your fellow employees, this can hurt the feelings of people who did not get good reviews.

30⟩ Why should you not neglect any minor criticisms you were given?

A positive performance review does not necessarily have to be 100% positive. Take note of any criticisms you do receive during your review and give them the same amount of attention you would give the criticisms from a negative review. Supervisors love employees who are not satisfied with "good enough", so look for opportunities to go the extra mile and earn a 100% positive review next time.

☛ In addition, it is worth remembering that, at your next review, your supervisor will probably bring up these past criticisms. It can be very embarrassing to explain to your supervisor that you have not taken any action based on these criticisms, so do not put yourself in this position.

31⟩ Why should you not rest on your laurels?

Do not make the mistake of slacking off after you have been given a good review. This signals to your boss that your continued effort at your job is dependent on the level of praise you receive, rather than a result of your personal dedication. Over time, an employee who is content to rely on past achievements to justify their existence can make a prime candidate for downsizing, so never stop setting (and meeting) ambitious goals for yourself.

33⟩ How would you look for opportunities to show your improvement?

If your supervisor has seriously criticized your work, they will be looking for some sort of measurable improvement in the near future. Do not let your hard work go unnoticed. Make a point to bring up your improvement during your next meeting or one-on-one talk and be ready to back up your claim with evidence.

☛ To make a great impression after being criticized during a review, make an effort to start "checking in" with your supervisor to discuss your progress. As soon as you have made some sort of accomplishment that demonstrates your progress, bring it up during your "check in" session. For instance, if your boss originally brought up the fact that your level of output in terms of progress on your projects has been slipping, you will definitely want to mention when you finish your next project early.

34⟩ Why should you consider your criticism objectively?

It is easy to feel personally offended by criticism during a job performance review. However, unless your supervisor attacked you personally, you have no reason to be offended. A performance review is meant to be a constructive exercise aimed at improving your work, not one aimed at undermining you or making you feel bad about yourself. The only thing being judged is your work, not you personally.

☛ If you are having a hard time taking your mind off of the criticism you received during a difficult review, try using a technique called "Thought Awareness." As you feel yourself getting angry, sad, or discouraged in the face of criticism, take the opportunity to think about your thoughts. Think about why you feel the way you do and critically observe your own stream of consciousness. By "getting out of your own head," you give yourself a chance to react logically to your criticism, rather than reacting to the way it makes you feel.
