It concerns officials and agents (contractual and temporary)<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

As reminder, there has been something new last year.\u00a0 The Institution decided to modify the report with constant rules (the General Implementing Rules governing the exercise do not change). \u00a0It had introduced the merge of 3 sections (<\/span>Efficiency, Ability, Conduct<\/span>) as well as the possibility of renewing your report.\u00a0 A new section dedicated entirely to your development has also been introduced but can NOT be used to compare your merits at any time during the promotion exercise.\u00a0 However, in essence, the exercise will be the same for you and for your Reporting Officer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Self-Assessment is fundamental, don\u2019t neglect it !!!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It indeed is the basis of your evaluation and will have a direct or indirect impact on your career, on your career prospects, your mobility, your promotion or the success of and appeal in case you have are not proposed by your Directorate-General.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like every year\u00a0Union Syndicale\u00a0<\/b>suggests some tips which may help you to avoid the usual pitfalls and make this procedure valuable for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The fundamental principles for a good self-assessment are: synthesis, conciseness and factuality.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Conciseness<\/span><\/u>\u00a0will be essential this year because the number of characters in each section will be more limited than in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>For the\u00a0merged section<\/u>\u00a0(Efficiency, Ability, Conduct). It is important to cover the 3 themes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Present a\u00a0quantitative AND qualitative assessment<\/u>\u00a0of your achievements.\u00a0 Self-assessment is not listing the tasks you carried out during the reference period (shopping list syndrome). Pass a positive judgement on your achievements.\u00a0 If difficulties arose in the achievement of your objectives or tasks, mention and explain them. If you achieved more than your objectives, you should also mention it. If you managed many different tasks, it makes sense to present an “executive summary” of a few lines including the quality level of your performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Do not criticize or incriminate<\/span><\/u>\u00a0your colleagues, your hierarchy or any other person (other procedures exist for that).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Avoid using obscure abbreviations or specialized wording<\/span><\/u>.\u00a0 Your self-assessment must be understood by readers who are not familiar with your working environment \u2013 this is particularly important in case of an appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Describe and develop your\u00a0\u2018level of responsibilities\u2019<\/u>\u00a0you exercised: management tasks, meeting moderation, flexibility and ability to adapt to new situations; how you ensure business continuity, if you representing your department, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Indicate which\u00a0languages you use in order carry out your duties<\/u>\u00a0as well as any other language you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Explain\u00a0how you acquired the knowledge or skills<\/u>\u00a0(including languages) that you need to carry out your work, meet your objectives or prepare a future career change.<\/span><\/p>\n
