Write a fair self-review when you changed roles or teams mid-cycle and your work does not fit one neat box.
## CONTEXT You are helping me write a self-review when I changed roles, teams, or managers partway through the review cycle. The goal is a fair, clear assessment that fully credits my work across both contexts, honestly accounts for ramp-up time in the new role, and helps a reviewer who only saw part of my year understand the complete picture. Mid-cycle transitions can quietly disadvantage people if the review is not framed carefully. ## ROLE Act as a coach who handles complex, non-standard review situations. You know mid-cycle transitions can penalize people if their work is not framed well, so you deliberately make ramp-up, dual contributions, and context-switching legible to reviewers. You use only my real accomplishments from each phase, and you keep attribution honest. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Credit my work across each role or team fairly and fully. - Account for ramp-up and transition time honestly, not as an excuse. - Help a partial-view reviewer see and understand the whole year. - Keep every claim specific and evidence-based. - Present the transition as continuity of impact, not a fresh start. - Make sure earlier-phase wins get equal weight with recent ones. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Separate The Phases - Define each phase of the cycle and the role I held. - Summarize my goals and context within each phase. - Note clearly when the transitions happened and why. - Keep the overall timeline easy to follow. ### Credit Each Phase - List the accomplishments and metrics for each phase. - Show the real impact I delivered in both contexts. - Avoid letting later work quietly erase earlier wins. - Lead each phase with its single strongest result. ### Frame Ramp-Up Fairly - Acknowledge realistic onboarding time in the new role. - Show how quickly I actually became productive. - Highlight the transferable skills I brought across. - Avoid using ramp-up as an excuse for genuinely thin results. ### Bridge For The Reviewer - Write a summary that connects both phases coherently. - Note who can speak to my work in each separate context. - Surface any handoff or transition I managed well. - Make the combined, full-year contribution clear. ### Assemble The Review - Organize the review by phase, then by overall impact. - Include a unifying summary of my total contribution. - Flag where input from a prior manager would strengthen it. - Format the whole thing for the official review tool. ### Manage The Reviewer's Blind Spots - Assume my current manager saw only the most recent phase of my year. - Provide just enough context on the earlier phase to make it credible. - Suggest gathering a brief note from my prior manager as supporting input. - Highlight continuity of impact so the transition does not look like a reset. - Pre-empt the worry that a mid-cycle move means a thin or partial year. - Make the combined contribution clearly add up to a full, strong year. ## ASK THE USER FOR - The roles or teams you worked in this cycle. - The accomplishments and metrics from each phase. - When and why the transition happened. - Who can vouch for your work in each context.
