Odd Jobs - Odd Ways to Ask for a Raise
This Week: Let’s chat about how to make more cash at your job. You’re working hard and you deserve more $$$Know someone who’d get a kick out this newsletter?Let me be straight up honest with you. Your girl, Jen (odd) Glantz, has NEVER in her life asked for a raise. I have done hard things in the corporate world: like quit my job and attending the company holiday party sober. But during my “annual reviews”, I didn’t utter any words about a raise. I listened to the % they offered and nodded my head. One year, my boss said I wasn’t getting a raise but was getting more work. I should have revolted! I should have quit. I sat there jotting down notes and spent the next 3-months working two jobs for the price of one. That’s why today I want to talk about asking for more money at your job. Because my advice would be lame, I brought in expert advice to help you out. Ready for it? Let’s do this, you money-maker, you oddddd money-maker. HOW TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY:Practice your pitch and anticipate questions:Many people find this unusual and unnatural, but interactions in which you're asking for something nearly always go better if you've prepared ahead of time and considered the many possible responses to each of your requests, as well as how you'll respond to them. After you've practiced being a reluctant boss, having a real talk with her will be much easier ,and you'll have more confidence because you'll be able to anticipate their replies and know how to respond. Skill up:
Get risky:Try to look for another job and get an idea of how much other companies Pay attention to timing - it’s everythingAsking for a raise during the slow time of year or when profits are off is never a good idea. Often, the timing of your ask has a lot to do with your chances for success. Wait until company growth is on the upswing, they've just made a bunch of hires that need training (that you'll help with), or any other timely event that works towards you getting the answer you want. Consider options other than cash
