Performance reviews and resumes
What do these have in common? When it comes to job performance, they have a great deal in common.
When getting a performance review from your manager or supervisor, what you’ve accomplished over the last year is being evaluated to determine what raise you should get based on the merit (or value) of your contributions.
When submitting your resume for an open position (including internal positions), you are being evaluated on the merit (or value) of your contributions and accomplishments.
Both performance reviews and resumes are directly tied to how much an employer views you are worth when it comes to paying you. This is why it’s so important to keep track of the key things you accomplish, so you have bargaining power when it comes to merit increases or new job offers.
Then, you need to word your accomplishments to demonstrate the most value of what you can bring to the table. Being able to word things properly in your resume so that your resume persuades and influences others is critical. It doesn’t matter if it is during an internal review and or a job transition.
