1st Experienced Example
"In my current role, I manage a team of 13 employees, and our policy is to conduct appraisals near a staff member's hire anniversary. I believe writing an appraisal takes preparation throughout the year by documenting performance. When it comes time to write the appraisal, we use an online performance management system that makes organizing details within the appraisal nice. I always block time on my calendar to take the time needed to focus on putting detail to paper and don't rush through it because feedback is so important to improving the performance of my entire team."

2nd Experienced Example
"As you can see from my resume, I have over ten years of management experience, and within that experience, I have a lot of experience in the performance appraisal processes for my staff. I take the approach of using a fact and documented-based approach with my staff rather than personal opinion. Being in a very volatile and high turnover industry right now, evaluating my staff on tangible factors is very important. Throughout my career as a manager, I've had to have many difficult conversations with staff that were put on performance improvement plans based on their annual reviews and am comfortable having these conversations in a professional, yet personal manner."
