In addition to your specific contributions to APHRC, equally important are competencies/core skills that contributed to your success in accomplishing your goals. Core skills are those skills and behaviors that all APHRC staff are expected to demonstrate in a fully effective manner or better.  These skills are not generally job specific but rather are considered important to the overall success of APHRCs mission; thus supervisors will rate staff on their ability in these respects during the appraisal process.  Use some of the descriptions listed next to the competencies as your guide to assess yourself.  Assessment should indicate whether this is an area of particular strength (S), satisfactory or average (A) or an area of weakness (W). Provide specific examples of your demonstrated capabilities in each area listed as strength. Specify NA wherever competencies are not applicable.  Please note that this data should be incorporated in the Career Development Planning section (Section VI).
