Write my self-assessment for a promotion packet
A concise, evidence-led promotion case written in the format reviewers and calibration committees expect.
The prompt
Write the self-assessment section of my promotion packet. This is step 3 of my promotion plan; it can draw on the evidence file from step 1 and anything my manager asked for in step 2.
Target level and criteria: [PASTE criteria]
Evidence: [PASTE evidence file or key examples]
Required format or word limit: [e.g. "one page", "500 words per criterion", template headings]
Who reads it: [e.g. "my manager's peers and a director who don't know my work"]
Feedback I've received from others: [quotes from peers or stakeholders, if allowed]
Requirements:
- Open with a 3-sentence summary of why I already operate at the target level.
- One section per criterion: the claim, then 1-2 specific examples with results.
- Write for a reader with no context: name the project, its scale, and why it mattered to the business.
- Show scope growth over time, not just a list of tasks.
- Acknowledge one area I'm still developing and what I'm doing about it - it builds credibility.
- Use my words and facts only. Mark anything that needs a number or confirmation as [ADD] or [CONFIRM].
- No buzzwords ("rockstar", "synergy"), no exaggeration.
Return the draft, then a checklist of weak spots a skeptical reviewer would question.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
