When you walk into your boss' office for your performance review, you need a game plan. Documenting your accomplishments is a good starting point. But just as important, you need to know how to come out of the meeting with the information you need.

當你走進老板辦公室談論績效考核時，你需要準備好策略。展示你的成績會開個好頭。但是同樣重要地是，你需要知道如何從考核中獲得需要的信息。

Experts offer these tips for handling this sometimes tricky conversation:

下面是專家們提供的建議，用于應對這種有時難以處理的談話：

* Follow up. 事后跟進

If you are surprised by a negative review and want some time to reflect before discussing it, ask your boss for more time. "Your boss knew it was coming," Civitelli said. "You may have to say, 'I need some time to think about these things.'"

如果業績考核的負面評價讓你感到驚訝，想在討論之前有段時間反省的話，那就要求老板給你更多的時間。Civitelli說：“你的老板早會料到會出現這個情況。你也許得說‘我需要一些時間考慮這些事情。’”

If your boss wants you to improve your performance, ask if you can talk again in a few weeks to see if you're succeeding.

如果你的老板希望你改善工作表現，那么問一問能否幾周后再談談，看看到那時你的工作表現是否有所改善。

In some cases, if your review is very negative and you feel it's unfair, you may want to ask if there's a way to avoid having the review made part of your permanent record until you have had a chance to rectify the situation.

有些時候，如果你的考核評價很糟糕，你感覺不公平，你可能會想問問能否有機會來改善情況，能否不讓它計入永久工作業績記錄。
