Get the Raise You Want

Step Three - Record Your Performance

Feeling you deserve a raise isn’t enough to convince your boss to give you one. You need to demonstrate in concrete terms why you feel you deserve a salary increase. The best way to do this is to track your performance over time. Keep notes that provide updates on the projects and tasks you have been assigned. This is your opportunity to show you are a solid performer and, as such, a valuable asset to the company.

Remember that anyone can have one or two examples of good performance; you want to show a consistent record of improvement and solid performance that sets you apart. And don’t worry about others in your work area. This is all about individual performance. It is about your competencies and experience in that job.
