It's personnel review season

[mrsbrown]

and I'd really like to fill out their silly form honestly.


In answer to the "question" (actually, I have to justify my competency in this area):
Self Management
Ability to cope with, prioritise and meet one's own work and personal commitments, have clear personal goals and strategies and measure performance in regards to these goals. Be pro-active in career planning, time management and setting challenges; seek life balance including health and fitness

I could say I have been VERY able to prioritise - Family comes first. My personal goals included; healthy baby and me, emotional support for my VCE studying son, support and teaching of life skills for my other son and daughter, occasional loving and enjoyment of my husband. I have pro-actively planned my career to come after my personal goals this year and I constantly challenge myself to do more for my hobby and it's associated community. I include fitness in my life by riding my bike to work and I try to cope with it all as best I can.

I answered the same set of questions last year and my boss agreed with me. Unfortunately, I don't feel as competent this year as I did last year.

I hate HR questions. I always have trouble answering "where do you see yourself in 5 years time" honestly in job interviews, not least because the answer involves maternity leave and generally speaking that's not something you should mention ever in a work context (we're all men! No leave required!) Meh.

Hmm, we call them 'performance reviews' here, admittedly we don't get quite the same questions, but l still dislike them.
