Hi,
Post 2 - Writing a Self-Assessment
I thought it was important to understand what a self-assessment is and how to write one. A self-assessment is the process of looking at oneself in order to assess aspects that are important to one's identity. It is one of the motives that drive self-evaluation, along with self-verifcation and self-enhancement.

This should occur even if the employer isn't asking the employee for it, because if you don't ask, it likely won't happen, he said. By showing an interest, you put it in your manager's mind that you are interested, and he or she is more likely to be on the lookout for tasks, assignments and training prospects for you.
