đź’Ą Self Evaluation Guide

This document is intended to be a supporting document to help you complete the 2023 lightweight Self Evaluation Process.

Writing a self-evaluation

Think of a self-evaluation as an opportunity to reflect and deep dive into your contributions and impact on Status’ projects. It’s your moment to share WHAT you do and HOW you do it.

The WHAT = contribution/impact

The HOW = behaviours

Try to be honest about your contributions and impact on Status’ projects, especially in relation to how your contributions align with Status’ values and mission. It is also important to acknowledge areas where you may need further development or support, and that’s okay.

Aim to provide a balanced evaluation of yourself based on the following attributes and questions.

Question Specific Guidance
