If your company policy allows, hold on to your past performance appraisals. These are great tools to help you remember your accomplishments. Many times when we leave a company we toss or shred the papers that relate to our past performance. This includes appraisals, paper calendars, certificates of training or other achievements and awards. These documents will help refresh your memory as you try to remember all the tasks, skills and achievements from your past jobs.
A performance appraisal usually lists several goal statements and a description of how you accomplished these. If completed correctly there are usually specific descriptors of how many, how much and how you went about achieving something. Why knock yourself out trying to remember what you did when it is highlighted in your appraisal?
