Get the raise you deserve

Get the raise you deserve

How to ask for a raise and get it

You may love your job and be grateful for it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t ask for and receive a raise. As we continue to read contradictory news about the economy, a salary increase is an especially nice thing to have. There is almost always the possibility of a raise for employees with exceptional value and a certain amount of negotiating finesse.
 
Timing is important; it’s best to act when your perceived value is at its greatest. For many, that will mean right after a great review or after/during your involvement in a critical project. On the other hand, immediately after a major layoff or the loss of a significant client usually isn’t an opportune time to ask.

Keep the timing in mind and get busy building a case to justify your raise!
 
Using these strategies will help you get the raise you deserve:

Be an expert on your company and boss. Learn about the prosperity of your company and any limitations that may have been imposed upon salaries. What kind of person is your boss? Will he/she care that you had to take out a home equity loan and now you’re struggling to make the payments? Some bosses do care about personal issues; most do not. 
  • Consider what will be most meaningful to your boss. Is she/he a numbers-driven person? If yes, you should back-up your request with cold, hard facts. Does she tend to focus on cost-savings? Think about how you’ve saved the company money in the recent past. Always consider what your boss values the most.

Leverage your talent. Finding and retaining great talent is typically the biggest challenge that companies face, regardless of the company size, industry, or current economic conditions. 
  • When times are tough, good companies don’t lose sight of the fact that they must have the right people when things pick up.
  • Avoid underestimating your value to your company. The act of asking for raise might cause them to be concerned that you may leave. (Because each person’s situation is different, think about whether or not this is a good thing for you and then act accordingly). 

Show your worth. Make a list of your accomplishments and ensure your boss knows about them. When times get tough, if companies are going to reward anyone, it’s going to be those folks that produce the greatest value for them. 
  • Consider what makes you indispensable. If you realize that you’re not indispensable, start looking for things that will increase your necessity to the company.
  • What can you do that no one else is capable of doing or that no one else wants to do?
  • What has changed since your last raise?
  • What new responsibilities do you now have?
  • Are you being required to take work home at night?
  • Do you have more employees reporting to you?
  • Are you forced to travel more?
  • If your responsibilities have increased significantly, you can make a good case for deserving an increase in your salary.

Demonstrate that you care. The very best employees also tend to be those that care the most about the company. Employers know which employees are genuinely interested in the success of the company beyond simply getting their paychecks. 
  • What are you doing to show you care? 
  • How do you represent the company to your friends, family, and the community-at-large? 
  • Do you volunteer for company sponsored events?

Maintain a positive attitude. Companies don’t like to deal with complaining employees. If you keep a positive approach, you’ll be viewed as part of the solution rather than part of the problem. 
  • Although you might not be thrilled to go to work, companies prefer to believe that employees are there because they love being there. That means always getting to work on time and not heading for the parking lot at exactly 5:00 every day.

You have to actually ask. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Asking for a raise is, at best, an uncomfortable experience. But if you feel that you genuinely deserve it, you owe it to yourself to go for it. Gather the information you need and set a goal to ask by a certain date. 
  • Practice in front of the mirror or with a friend or family member. During your daily commute, recite what you’re going to say to your boss. Knowing what you’re going to say will help to take the edge off any nerves. You can do it!

Best time to find a job

Best time for job hunting

October is the best time to look for a job, according to a LinkedIn survey.October is the best time to look for a job, based on a LinkedIn survey.

​The CBS This Morning show invited Dan Roth, the Editor in Chief of LinkedIn, where it was explained that with the national unemployment rate at a 50-year low, October could be the perfect time to land your dream job — and Monday the best day to apply for a job, based on a recent LinkedIn survey.

October is the best month to apply for jobs on LinkedInOctober has the HIGHEST number of job openings on LinkedIn
​

​October has the highest number of job openings on LinkedIn, and 89% of hiring managers filled those spots in less than four weeks.
 
 
 
 
 


The best time to look for work is Monday morningMonday morning is the best time to look for work
Roth said it's good to have your application be first in line because the first 25 applications are three times more likely to land a position (compared to those later in the queue).
 
 
 
 
 


Learn to build your LinkedIn profile"Make sure that you are out there with your profile"

​But being first is not the most important thing, according to Roth. He emphasized building out your online professional profile. “The real key is making sure that you are out there with your profile, that you’re sharing, that you’re talking about what you're an expert in, that you’ve got your skills listed, that you’re networking with people,” says Roth.
 ​​

As an experienced resume service in Los Angeles, Market-Connections takes pride in providing a large selection of package deals with multiple tools and resources to help its clients as they try to demystify the job search process. To facilitate the process for prospective clients, we offer a "Special" throughout the month of October. It consists of a Free Resume Critique for the first 10 prospective clients every Saturday morning during the month of October, on a first-come-first-served basis. This includes dates: from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
 
“If you are just relying on a piece of paper, you're doing it wrong,” says Roth. “The most important thing is to be out there.”
 
LinkedIn also published a blog post talking about the autumn job search process titled “A New Holiday to Celebrate: Fall Hiring Season.”
