Some are pure charades. They will overlook many if not most of your genuine achievements. The high competitiveness that exists in the world of work helps to create this unfortunate train of events. Fortunately, however, there is a way around all of this. Nothing else needs to go into that notebook.
Achievements are the only thing that count.
Keep your mind twenty-four hours a day on achievements. Then record Every One, meticulously, with figures and any other supporting data. Every six months, then, work this up into a brief one or two page efficiency report. Begin it with your stated work Objective, and then support it with the same kind of evidence as you did on your Statement of Where I'm Going, earlier in this course. This efficiency report is one which you now know is complete down to the last detail, and you don't have to worry whether someone else omitted crucial passages, or not.
