So tomorrow is my last day on this job. I haven’t actually worked enough to require an evaluation, but I want one. The problem is, before my superior can evalutate me, I have to fill out my own opinion on myself.

So, I would just mark myself average on everything, but some of the things just haven’t come up. For example: Staying positive during frustrating periods. Nothing has been frustrating this week! Or: Communicating well with clients. I’ve barely even met the clients, although we have been in their office building all week.

Some of them I haven’t done, although I could have, such as: awareness of industry and client-specific accounting. I didn’t have tons of time to prepare, as I only got this assignment Monday. It also didn’t seem as important as it would if I were working on the client for more than 4 days. Should you rank yourself lower for that kind of thing?

In order to answer these questions before my evaluation on next week’s client, I’m going to:

• Spend some time this weekend brushing up on their background information
• Work on the e-learning for the audit software we use

During the actual week, I need to make sure that I:

• Am actively seeking out work any second I am not unassigned.
• Ask more questions to show I’m interested in learning.
• Ask about how long an assignment is expected to take me, to show that I have an awareness of time budgets.
