“If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn’t have a job if he was any smarter”
If you are a simple employee and looking for a raise from your boss, the main concern for you will be to step into your boss’s office to ask for a raise, right?
You don’t have to worry, there are simple strategies that may reward you with some extra cash on you monthly check account at your work, if you approach your boss correctly.
So, have a look at the ways to move toward your superior and apply them, to lose some fear in asking what you really deserve.
1.Study And Do Your Home Work.
Try to get as much information as you can, how you spend company’s money, how you earn them, make a list and try to understand how you dedicate yourself to its purpose, before you ask for that raise. Study the company you work for, try finding out how much other people get in your department, in the company or in other companies on the market. But don’t forget that you’re not the only one who works hard, have respect for your team members, your approach to your superior has to be correctly so it won’t affect them.
2. Prepare Yourself For His Answers.
As you decided to go to your boss, prepare yourself with the answers and arguments that he is going to tell you. Try to foresee what is going to happened, what explanations you will get, if you are told that the financial situation is not in the best shape right now, the budget is too short or the money were invested in a deal, don’t be surprised these are the answers you might get. Make him understand that you wait for his answer when situation stabilizes. Try not to express your disagreement with him, but establish a date to meet again to talk about your raise.
3. Be Open.
Don’t be afraid to be open with your boss, be as honest as possible, and ask him if there are some projects you may participate or what you need to do to get a raise. Ask him what he expects from you, how he likes the job to be done. Of course, not so many companies are willing to pay at the end of the project, many of them don’t have that policy, but some will do that. But remember, do your job properly, only like this you might get rewarded, if you do your job well.
4. Be Realistic And Thankful.
Today companies offer a lot of options to its employees, like offering a car, a cell phone that you don’t have to pay for, vacations paid by the company in its own resorts, small holiday after your business trip in the same location. Be realistic and take in consideration what you also gain from advantages offered by the company, which of course you get for free, and be thankful for this. Look from the bright sight.
5. Find A New Job.
If you realize that there are no other ways to get a raise for your hard work, look for a new job. But never, never complain to your boss and don’t look unsatisfied all the time, telling that you are looking for another job. This will not bring you in the position to negotiate your raise. Big companies always revaluate their employees, to keep them in the company. You will need a good reputation and good recommendations form your boss if you choose to leave the company.
Always think positive and fight for a career with respect and honor, don’t lie to your superior. If he discovers your lie, you will never have a chance to negotiate your pay check. Consider company’s point of view.When you go in your boss office, be concise and precise, without tricks that might come out in the future.

Hey Peeps! After endless searches and submitting your resume to 1000 places - you finally get a call back. Congratulations (but here comes the fun part). I just wanted to reach out and remind everyone that it is so important to do research on the company you plan on interviewing with prior to the interview. You would be surprised how many people come unprepared and don’t know anything about the company, different teams you sponsor, events the company is involved with, etc…

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
