Be proactive ahead of performance review

If ever you wished you had the powers of mind-reading, it might be during your annual performance review.

You may think that if you could just figure out what the boss really thought of your performance and what you can do to improve it without all the business jargon and hemming and hawing, you actually might be able to nab that promotion or pay raise.

Instead, you’re stuck with the boss rambling on and on while you have no clue of what you’re supposed to do to improve — or whether he even thinks you need to improve.
