You’re Not Earning Enough!

Here are some tips to get a pay rise:

  1. If you don’t ask. You won’t get. But it’s got to be done in the right way. Remember that it’s the company which holds all the cards. They don’t have a mortgage to pay.
  2. Never ‘demand’! Ask the boss to ‘consider’? That way everybody saves face. Whatever the outcome.
  3.  Are you hitting your work-targets? Exceed them if you can. Then that pay-rise will be difficult to refuse.
  4. Know what the market is paying for your work and what your colleagues are being paid. Can’t find out? Then BLUFF!
  5. For more information and real-life examples on how to gold-plate your job, read ‘Pass Your Exam; Get That Job, and Build a Career‘. Possibly the best investment you will ever make. j
