How to get that raise! |
|
You've been working long hours. You've been producing great work. The time has come:
You want a raise and you want it now!
But before you go running into your boss' office, make sure you know what you are doing. |
|
- Do Your Homework
- Do some competitive analysis: Figure out what you're worth in the marketplace
- Do some internal analysis: Figure out what you're worth to your boss
- Time your meeting: Don't catch her in a bad mood
- Say the Right Thing
- Don't threaten her by saying you have another job offer (unless you really do!)
- Don't seem too desperate. You don't want her to feel sorry for you.
- Make your worth clear!
- Don't forget to follow up
- Send a Note Thanking Your Boss for Her Time
- Confirm the points of your conversation in writing
- Set a follow-up meeting if necessary
|
One last thing: Remember to relax, take a deep breath, and you'll be ready to go. Good luck! |
