Re: I need help

["Zen C" <zenizenc -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I just had a meeting with my manager.

Sad to say we do not have anything documented and I am not sure how they
have done reviews in the past.

She suggested that I create a draft and she will go over it with me. She
said I could write everything that I have achieved in the past 5 months.

Everything I have achieved were my own initiatives of which some were not
very successful cos it was very difficult for them to adapt to at once.

So I guess I have a whole lot of goals this year to change implement better
processes of doing things which will make life easier and help achieve
better results.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
