Before you ask for a raise, consider whether you merit a raise and whether your company is in a position to give you one. If so, then choose your moment and your methods to ask for a raise very carefully.
- Calculators
- Personal Organizers
- Spiral Notebooks
Suggestions
- Evaluate your worth. Make a list of your accomplishments, skills and contributions.
- Arm yourself with information. Know what a normal raise is for someone of your experience and occupation.
- Assess your supervisor's mood and outlook. Is he or she ready to consider your request?
- Choose an appropriate time of day. Make an appointment or ask if there are a few minutes to spare. Plan for an end-of-business-day meeting.
- Consider asking for a specific amount that's a little higher than what you want. Say 8 percent when you would be happy with 6 percent.
- Be realistic. If your company is going through tough times but you still feel deserving, decide how you'll respond if a lower amount is offered.
- Be flexible. Would you consider a supplement in perks, time off, flextime or vacation time in lieu of a raise? Negotiate.
- If your supervisor turns you down, have a plan ready and regroup.
