Keep a brag document
Write down wins when they happen, not the night before your review.
By review time, most people have forgotten half of what they did this year. A running list of results makes the raise conversation much easier.
What to record
- Results with numbers: time saved, money earned or saved, customers served
- Projects you led or rescued
- New skills and responsibilities
- Praise from customers, coworkers and managers (save the emails)
- Problems you solved before they grew
Make it a habit
Ten minutes every Friday, or a recurring calendar reminder once a month.
