NORCROSS, GA, April 23, 2013 (Press-News.org) Few things inspire as much apprehension in the workplace as a looming performance review. No matter how diligent and competent we may be, most of us are still at least somewhat nervous as we enter our annual or semi-annual review. We desire to not only meet but exceed the expectations that our employers place on us because these benchmarks typically determine who will receive raises, promotions, or even whether or not we will remain employed with that business.
Atlanta staffing agency professionals at TRC Staffing Services, Inc. explain that this fear response could be due to memories of our childhood report cards. Performance reviews are truly the adult equivalent, packaging our long hours of hard work into neat figures and statistics that define who we are within a company.
Performance reviews do not need to be feared events, however. Not only are they limited in their scope, research has pointed out that they are often ineffective if not handled appropriately. Atlanta employment agency specialists suggest looking at a review as an opportunity to receive constructive criticism, allowing you to strengthen your areas of weakness. To keep reviews in perspective, remember that receiving a couple points of negative feedback is normal in many jobs.
Hearing that you need to improve in a particular area provides a chance to open up dialogue with your supervisor. "Display your dedication by working with your employer to create actionable short-term goals," says Tom Bodeep, Senior Vice President of Atlanta employment agency TRC Staffing Services, Inc. "This not only reaffirms your commitment to your job, it shows that you can problem solve."
TRC Staffing Services, Inc. is an award-winning Atlanta employment agency. Their core business areas include contract labor, contingent-to-hire, direct hire, and payrolling, among others. Their innovative Atlanta staffing agency has developed effective workplace management solutions for employers, opening doors for highly qualified and reliable job seekers.

Grains of sand from ancient supernova found in meteorites
2013-04-22
It's a bit like learning the secrets of the family that lived in your house in the 1800s by examining dust particles they left behind in cracks in the floorboards.
By looking at specks of dust carried to earth in meteorites, scientists are able to study stars that winked out of existence long before our solar system formed.
This technique for studying the stars – sometimes called astronomy in the lab — gives scientists information that cannot be obtained by the traditional techniques of astronomy, such as telescope observations or computer modeling.
Now scientists ...
Hundreds of alterations and potential drug targets to starve tumors identified
2013-04-22
NEW YORK—A massive study analyzing gene expression data from 22 tumor types has identified multiple metabolic expression changes associated with cancer. The analysis, conducted by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center, also identified hundreds of potential drug targets that could cut off a tumor's fuel supply or interfere with its ability to synthesize essential building blocks. The study was published today in the online edition of Nature Biotechnology.
The results should ramp up research into drugs that interfere with cancer metabolism, a field that dominated ...
Earth's current warmth not seen in the last 1,400 years or more, says study
2013-04-22
Fueled by industrial greenhouse gas emissions, Earth's climate warmed more between 1971 and 2000 than during any other three-decade interval in the last 1,400 years, according to new regional temperature reconstructions covering all seven continents. This period of manmade global warming, which continues today, reversed a natural cooling trend that lasted several hundred years, according to results published in the journal Nature Geoscience by more than 80 scientists from 24 nations analyzing climate data from tree rings, pollen, cave formations, ice cores, lake and ocean ...
New immune cells hint at eczema cause
2013-04-22
Sydney researchers have discovered a new type of immune cell in skin that plays a role in fighting off parasitic invaders such as ticks, mites, and worms, and could be linked to eczema and allergic skin diseases.
The team from the Immune Imaging and T cell Laboratories at the Centenary Institute worked with colleagues from SA Pathology in Adelaide, the Malaghan Institute in Wellington, New Zealand and the USA.
The new cell type is part of a family known as group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) which was discovered less than five years ago in the gut and the lung, where ...
Diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer: A review for physicians
2013-04-22
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of death from cancer, and while family physicians in Canada only see 1 cases a year, the number of cases is expected to increase as the population ages. A review in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) provides an evidence-based overview of diagnosis and treatment of the disease for general physicians.
The main risk factor for pancreatic cancer is smoking, although about 20% of patients have a family history of the disease. Symptoms usually manifest 10 years after the start of the disease, which means screening has ...
