What's That About Prior Planning?

Apr 05, 2008

At ScienceWoman, Alice discusses that dreaded annual review. First, she walks through her recent experience -- being unprepared for the discussion itself. She then lists some advice:

  • Have a few things you want to get answers back directly on that you can talk about;
  • Have both good things and challenges to talk about;
  • Think about things you want help on that you can ask for directly;
  • Ask what happens to this conversation/review information, what are other review opportunities, can you get things in writing, and so forth; then gauge the rest of the conversation accordingly;
  • Take good notes;
  • Remember your chair has to have this conversation with *everyone.*
