Do You Dare Ask for a Raise in This Economy?

在如今的經(jīng)濟形勢下你是否敢要求加薪？

So, you think you deserve a little more money for your hard day's work?

那么，你是否覺自己每天工作很辛苦，公司應(yīng)該多給你點錢呢？

Maybe your role in a project caused a mini-celebration at a company that otherwise is sharing in the general gloom of the world economy. Forty percent of U.S. companies have announced a freeze on pay raises this year, according to a recent Reuters article. You, however, want more money. But do you dare ask for a raise now, in a waning economy?

也許因為你在某個項目上的貢獻給公司帶來了小小的勝利，否則你的公司就要和其他公司一樣被全世界低迷的經(jīng)濟所波及。根據(jù)路透社最新的報導(dǎo)， 40%的美國公司在今年宣傳實行零加薪。然而你想要更多的錢。那么，在這樣的經(jīng)濟緊張時期，你是否敢要求加薪呢？

Here are 10 things to consider:

你需要考慮的十件事：

1) Performance. "Offer specific examples of your overall performance. Think 'made, saved and achieved.' Ask yourself what you have done for your company that will put an extra value on you," says Glenn Dubiel, vice president of the Mergis Group. Prepare well in advance and be equipped with how your performance has helped the company and how you plan to do so again in the future.

績效。Mergis Group公司的副總裁Glenn Dubiel說：“列舉一些具體的實例來證明你的總體表現(xiàn)?？紤]‘創(chuàng)造、省錢和成就’問問你自己，你為公司做過的事情哪些能為你帶來額外的福利?！碧崆白龊贸浞值臏蕚?，準備好說明你的業(yè)績是如何給公司創(chuàng)造利潤的，以及你準備在將來怎樣繼續(xù)為公司創(chuàng)造利潤。

2) Pay. Knowing how your salary stacks up to others can help you decide if a raise is warranted and timely. Compare your pay rate with those of your peers using the tools at salary websites, like . lets you look up the salary ranges by job title, experience level, and geographic area.

薪水。了解你的薪資和其他人有什么樣的不同可以幫你決定提出的加薪是否恰當(dāng)、及時。利用.這樣的在線薪資網(wǎng)站上的工具將你的薪水和其他同行的作對比。在該網(wǎng)站上，你可以根據(jù)職位、經(jīng)驗水平、地理區(qū)域等查出大概的薪資范圍。

3) Skill level. Are your skills superior to others in the same line of work? Have you exceeded expectations through initiative or problem solving? Are your actual skills what set you apart, or are you just in the right place at the right time? "Employers don't pay for luck very often," says Ron Price, CEO of Price Associates.

熟練程度。在同樣的工作崗位上你的技能是否比他人要熟練？你是否主動超出了雇主的期待或主動解決問題?是否真的是你扎實的技巧讓你脫穎而出，還是你只是恰好在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r機遇到了合適的職位？Price Associates.公司的CEO Ron Price說：“公司經(jīng)不會經(jīng)常為你的好運買單?！?/div>

4) Reputation. Take time to assess how you're viewed by your peers. Are you the most talented software engineer, the best sales person, the most creative producer? Do you cooperate with coworkers to get things done? Are you absolutely solid on basics like professional appearance, attendance, and diligence at work?

名聲。花時間去調(diào)查下你的同行是如何看待你的。你是最優(yōu)秀的軟件工程師嗎？最好的銷售員？最有創(chuàng)意的制片人？你是否能和同事齊心協(xié)力將事情辦好？專業(yè)著裝、按時上下班、勤奮努力等這些基本要求你是否能夠一如既往，堅定地做好？

5) Occupation. In general, expectations for salaries across the board are flat. A few, though, are growing. "Two jobs with very strong pay growth over the last two years, and still good over the last six months, are pharmacist and physical therapist," says Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis at . Other jobs command a greater salary depending on years of experience. This is especially true for software developers and IT managers.

職業(yè)。根據(jù)預(yù)測，每個行業(yè)的薪資發(fā)展趨勢都是持平的，但是有一些行業(yè)有增長趨勢。的定量分析主管Al Lee說：“在過去兩年中薪資增長非常高、并且在今年上半年中也持續(xù)很高的兩個職業(yè)是藥劑師和理療師。”而其他大部分工作通常都要有幾年的工作經(jīng)驗才會給予高薪。尤其是軟件開發(fā)和IT經(jīng)理這兩個職業(yè)更是如此。
