rejected.content: There are a few things you can do to put yourself in the best position possible for successfully asking for a raise. First and foremost, make sure you have tangible proof of your accomplishments and of the value you bring to the company. Have examples ready of times when you went above and beyond the call of duty - for example, taking on projects or duties that weren’t initially part of your job description. Next, make sure you set up a meeting with the right person - typically it should be your direct supervisor. Research is key - know the company’s financial standing as well as any other factors that may be relevant. Be sure to phrase your argument in a way that is clear, concise, and specific, rather than vague or emotional. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to back up your argument with data and evidence if necessary - your boss will respect you more for being prepared. With these tips in mind, your request for a raise should be well-supported and more likely to be successful.
