Show your value and get a raise

- Let me ask you a question.…When's the last time you asked for a raise?…At a workshop I did for about 40 HR managers…I asked them to raise their hand if they asked…for a raise in the last year.…Only two people raised their hand.…I asked them to tell me about this.…One of them said, "Well, I really didn't ask…"for a raise at that job.…"I left that job, I asked for a raise…"at my next job, and I got it."…Well, okay, she got a raise.…

And that's one way to get paid more.…The other person said she hadn't asked…for a raise for a couple of years…and since the company was doing better financially…she finally asked for a raise and got it.…The point is she would not have gotten it…if she hadn't asked.…The other 38 people in that room had not asked…for a raise, or if they did they didn't get it…and didn't want to talk about it.…Asking for a raise takes confidence,…confidence in your abilities and the bottom line…results you've produced.…

Before you ask for a raise, I suggest you do three things.…Number one, have a meeting with a recruiter…
