Ok, you can't really help me since you don't really know me but I need to vent cuz I don't know what to say.
I have to turn in my self-evaluation form on the 8th. I don't know how to answer some of the questions, though. In the store they do reviews/raises in October. I transferred to the Distribution Center in July, so my last formal review was October of 2005. The schedule at the DC is different, so I am due for a raise in April, so they are starting reviews now.
Question 1: Consider your 2006 objectives or major work assignments and identify significant accomplishments. Now I suppose I can count my getting this job in the first place as one. And I've had some projects that I can use, so this question isn't too hard.
Question 2: Review your progress toward company initiatives and personal goals which were set in 2006, indicating the results which were achieved and those which were not. Now, when I transferred, I did not have any "goal setting" type discussions with anyone. And whatever goals were set at my last review (2005) no longer apply, since that was in the store, in a completely different position, and a job transfer was not even on the horizon at that point. I suppose I could relate any progress toward my goals that were set for the store before I transferred, especially since I used to work with my boss in a different store so he knows what that position entails. But to be honest, I'm not sure I even remember what those goals were. Or if I really made any progress towards them. In light of some things that happened at the store last year, there was a stretch where I just wanted out and really didn't care, so I did my job but not much extra.
Question 3: Critique areas of your own performance that could have been better executed and in need of improvement. I just hate this question. And I suppose it would not be in my best interest to list "read less Customers Suck at work," would it?

and true.
. Of course, I don't actually work with customers here, unless you count the publishers and book distributors, and I don't really have much direct contact with them either. If they do contact me, they just get referred to the vendor manager.
