Calling all current & former administrative assistants...?

I really need your help. It's time for our annual performance reviews (ugh!). I have always had trouble coming up with "performance" goals. It really is a struggle for me. I feel as though I do the same things (tasks) every year and trying to come up with new performance goals is very hard for me.

Would any of you be willing to share some of your performance goals or give suggestions/examples that I could use to draft some of my own? I will be glad to share some of the ones I have used.

The first year it was not too hard to do because reviews are due in late March and I was hired for this position in early March. Basically, my goals were to learn the expectations and responsabilities of my job.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You should break your goals into categories. Here are a few examples.

    Quality:

    Ensure all documents are error free and to the company brand.

    Finance:

    Save the company money by making careful choices when ordering supplies.

    Ensure invoices are sent out promptly

    Skills:

    Improve administrative skills, read David Alan's book "Getting It Done" and apply his suggestions in your everyday tasks

    You should ask your reviewer what are some things you should consider as goals.
