How to start: ideas for your written ‘request for reassessment’

Alright, you're about to dive into why you think you're performing at a different level or pathway. And where do you start? It can be hard sometimes. But don't let that hold you back. Here are some ideas to get you going.

There are no rules or restrictions. You can write as much or as little as you like and structure it however you prefer. This support document is designed to help you reflect on the past period, and it also serves to refresh the 🧠 memory of your assessors. It’s a way to remind yourself (and them) of everything you've been involved with—what projects you contributed to, what your role was, and what impact you had.

Take a look at the pages that explain the pathways and levels, and then list some specific examples from your recent work, like projects, roles, or cases. You can also draw from other sources. Your Glassfrog role overview and your reflection report from last year are good references. Use whatever helps you gather your thoughts and capture the highlights of your contributions.

Try to be detailed—describe what you did, who initiated the work, your influence on the outcome, and what the results or impact were. This level of detail helps the assessors remember what you've been working on and helps them evaluate your performance.

We understand that for some people sharing your accomplishments might feel like bragging. However, please remember that you don't need to give yourself overly glowing compliments. Simply providing a clear description of your work and its impact is sufficient. And of course, we do want you to be proud of your work!

Let’s go!

If you want to use this template, please make a copy of (parts of) this page and make it your own. Please do not enter anything below, on this page, thank you!
