Yup, this absolutely works! I always write my performance review as if I were updating my resume. If I don't like what I see, that's feedback to myself and motivation to change my plans for the next review period. This particularly works in companies big enough that internal transfers are possible; the text of the performance review should be specifically written with the idea that the next hiring manager will read it in mind.
