Performance Review

Review season rewards the people who write down what they did — and quietly skips the ones who didn't. This playbook turns a blank self-evaluation and a nerve-wracking feedback meeting into a prepared, evidence-backed case for your value. Your Career Development Ally captures the wins you were too busy to record, drafts a self-review that quantifies impact instead of narrating your job description (STAR-method bullets), decodes what your rating actually means, rehearses the compensation conversation, and turns whatever rating you get into a forward plan. Every section comes as copy-paste prompts — the highlight-reel mining prompt, the self-review draft, the feedback calibration questions, and the comp script.
