【英語島封面故事】Step by step 年終考評溝通術
無論你是職場菜鳥還是老鳥，面對績效考核時總覺得緊張、害怕詞不達意？從會議室走出來，不確定主管／下屬聽進去多少？面對這類的考評，重點在於如何從容地展現自己的優勢，用字及敘述方式都是關鍵。
Step 1 Demonstrate your strength
寫出自己的強項及優點，這邊要注意到的是，要表現「自信」而非「自大」，盡量表達具體。
(X) I always keep up with industry trends. --> 不夠明確
我時時關注產業潮流。
(O) I pick up the new marketing trends by reading tech and financial news.
我會看科技及財經新聞，隨時關注最新行銷潮流。
In order to stay updated on the latest trends, I like to meet friends from different sectors and exchange opinions.
為了時時掌握趨勢，我常會跟不同產業的朋友見面、交換意見。
(X) I am a well-organized person. --> 舉出實例才具體
我很善於規劃。
(O) I am a well-organized person who always makes good use of my time and keep everything on track. Here’s my schedule for the next project and…
我很善於規劃，在時間利用上能妥善管理並確認每件事都在進度上。這邊是下個專案的時程表……
Step 2 Express what you learn from your failure
若有工作上的缺失被質問，可以給出原因及解決方式，切勿找藉口或是將錯推到別人身上。
Scenario 1
Supervisor: I noticed that your work schedule is falling behind now.
主管：我注意到你的工作進度有些延遲
Employee: This I know, but I am working to catch up now. I set daily progress goals and keep a record of the time that I spend on different tasks throughout the week.
員工：是，我正在趕上進度，目前我訂了每日進度目標，這樣可以幫助我每週記錄下我在各項工作上花的時間。
Scenario 2
Supervisor: Honestly, the amount of sales in Q2 is lower than we expected.
主管：第二季的銷售量有點不如預期。
Employee: I’ve noticed that. To improve sales in Q3, we’ve managed to boost audiences by inviting several influencers to be our guest editors as well as recommend movies.
員工：是，我們了解。為了在第三季改善這個問題，我們邀請了幾位網紅以客座編輯身份推薦電影，希望藉此帶動觀眾進場。
Step 3 Emphasize your chief accomplishments
多用可量化的數據表達自己的工作成果
Example 1
As a front desk clerk in our hotel, I’ve never received any negative messages on my performance and every customer who’s talked to me has given me a full 5-star review.
身為飯店的前台人員，我從未收到負面評價，且我服務過的顧客都給了我五星回饋。
Example 2
After observing the data of our users, I made some changes to our marketing strategy. These efforts resulted in a 25% growth in sales.
觀察了我們用戶的數據後，我將行銷策略稍作調整。在調整過後，銷售數字成長了25％。
Step 4 Bring up the company core values
可總結自己的優勢與公司核心價值有連結之處，或是設立一個短期目標
Example
“Keep learning” is always one thing that we want to share with our students. I also want to broaden my skill set so that I can do my job more efficiently. To achieve this goal, I am currently enrolled in a three-month introductory programming course.
我們時常與學生分享「不斷學習」這樣的概念，同時，我也想增進自己的技能，讓自己更有效率地處理工作。為了達到這個目標，我報名了一個為期三個月程式入門的課程。
