2 min read Always free

Asking for feedback can feel scary. But it shows you care about your work. Most bosses like that.

You do not need fancy words. A short, kind message works best. ChatGPT can help you find those words.

ChatGPT is a free helper you type to. It writes a draft for you. Then you read it and send it in your own way.

Try this
  1. Open ChatGPT and tell it you want feedback from your boss.
  2. Say your job and what you want to know about.
  3. Read the message it writes. Change anything that does not sound like you.
  4. Send it to your boss by email or chat.
A message you can copy

Help me write a short, polite message asking my boss for feedback on my work. My job is [your job]. I want to know how I am doing and what I can do better. Keep it friendly and under 80 words.

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
