B. Listen to your review objectively.
Job performance reviews can be stressful, especially when it seems you are being criticized. Responding in a thoughtful, objective, and proactive manner will make the experience a positive one. How you respond to a performance review alludes to your character and may influence the next review. Prepare for your review. Think about your performance since the last review. What did you accomplish? What went well? What went poorly? What are some areas that need improvement? Consider writing this down and sharing it with your supervisor in advance of the review. Listen to your review objectively. Rather than feeling offended, realize that a performance review is meant to be a constructive exercise, not one aimed at undermining you personally. Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. No one is infallible. Your willingness to consider suggested improvements implies that you are a dedicated employee worth keeping. Listen thoughtfully. If the information you receive is a complete surprise to you, tell your manager that you would like some time to digest everything and request a time to meet again.
