Here are some tips to help you navigate your own mid-year review:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\"><strong>Perform an honest self-assessment<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">Take some time to critique your own performance \u2013 assess your wins and losses, overall business contribution and goals. Be honest with yourself and try to look at it from your manager&#8217;s perspective. Refer to your past review, taking a fresh look at each factor in detail. Consider questions such as what performance improvements you have made since your last review, what you have accomplished and if you&#8217;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">re closer to achieving the goals set out for you this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">List specific actions you&#8217;ve taken and the results you&#8217;ve achieved \u2013 these will eventually be some of the things you can use to show how valuable you are to the company.

You also want to take a step back and think about <a href=\"http:\/\/content.monster.com.my\/5-signs-you-need-to-leave-your-company\/\">how engaged and connected you are with your work<\/a>, your team and your company as a whole. Feeling engaged at work can have an immediate effect on your productivity and morale making, you more energized, focused, and motivated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">However, if this is something that you are struggling with, you may want to discuss what help you may need from your manager to support your ongoing success and development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\"><strong>Prepare for hard truths<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">Everyone has room for improvement.
