How to Prepare for Your Performance Review All Year Long

Performance reviews can feel daunting—unless you’ve been keeping receipts all year long. That’s where BragStory comes in.

Why Traditional Reviews Fall Short

Most professionals scramble to recall what they’ve done in the last 6 or 12 months. You forget the smaller (but important) wins. You minimize your impact. You downplay your leadership. BragStory helps you change that.

What Is BragStory?

BragStory is your personal win tracker, goal setter, and public portfolio—built to make you ready for every review, every time. It’s like a digital brag sheet that grows with you.

Key Features That Help You Win at Reviews

  • Win Wall: Record your accomplishments using the CALI format (Challenge, Action, Learning, Impact).
  • Timeline View: Visualize your career journey—including achievements, not just roles.
  • Goal Tracker: Set goals and log milestones. See your progress, and link wins back to what matters.
  • Public Portfolio: Share a curated view of your best work with recruiters or peers.
  • Resume Parser: Upload a resume to kickstart your profile and extract past wins.

How to Use BragStory All Year Long

  1. Capture Wins in Real Time: Finished a tough project? Log it. Led a team initiative? Capture it. Don’t wait.
  2. Update Your Goals Monthly: Reflect on your growth, celebrate progress, and pivot when needed.
