How to Write a Firefighter and Paramedic Performance Review About Yourself

Firefighter/paramedics often write self-evaluation performance reviews.

Sometimes employees are asked by management to write a performance self-evaluation. Firefighter/paramedics faced with this task should think clearly about their abilities and achievements, organize those thoughts and then write a self-review that clearly highlights their effectiveness and dedication to protecting the community. Many departments provide a pre-printed form for employees to fill out. These forms usually include mandatory self-ranking sections and will usually include an opportunity for additional narrative as well.

  List all basic information such as your name, title, rank (if applicable), department name, supervisor, hire date and the date of the review.
- 2
  
  Rank yourself on general employment requirements such as arriving to work on time, maintaining a good attendance record and working with the team. If you are using a form, use the rating system and qualifications listed. If not, list your own and identify your rating system (such as a numerical scale or a "fair, good, excellent" scale).
- 3
  
  Rate yourself on your ability to perform various functions of your job. Use the provided form or identify important functions on your own. This may include obeying safety regulations, completing all required re-certification training, responding to calls within the designated time and maintaining equipment in proper running order.
- 4
  
  Identify your strengths as a firefighter/paramedic. This may include working well with older members of the public or an ability to identify possible indications of arson. Identify any awards or honors won and certifications earned since the last review period.
- 5
  
  List areas in which you would like to improve over the coming review period and explain what you are going to do to achieve this improvement. Include any classes you plan to attend or certifications you plan to earn.
- 6
  
  Sign and date your self-review. Keep a copy for your files and turn in the original to the proper authority (usually your supervisor or a member of human resources).

Tips & Warnings

Be honest. Your supervisor already knows your performance level.
