It doesn’t matter what field you have forged your career in, there will be times when you want to leap up the next rung of the ladder. Trying to secure a promotion is difficult when you find yourself wallowing in the same role for a few years, and you haven’t undertaken any professional development since you graduated from college. However, all is not lost. With determination and perseverance, and by following these simple steps, you can find yourself in a higher earnings bracket and enjoying the new challenges that a promotion can bring.
pay raise
Many Canadian women who work outside the home are paid less than their male colleagues even if they do the same job. One of the main reasons for this is that most women never ask for a raise. They work really hard and hope that someone will acknowledge their accomplishments, but many times this just does not happen. Men, on the other hand, are generally less reluctant to ask for an increase in pay.
Knowing that your raise will be based on your overall performance, the most important thing is to prepare before arranging a meeting with your boss. Think of concrete examples during your time as an employee with the company where you displayed outstanding behaviors and had above average results. Do not be boastful, but rather let the numbers/outcomes speak for themselves.
