JOB OFFER NEGOTIATION
First of all, not enough people negotiate their job offers. So please negotiate!
But when they do negotiate they often just focus on the salary. But there’s more to an offer than compensation and the offer stage is the time to ensure you get the work environment, vacation time and more to your liking!
In this week’s video I walk you through 5 other things  you can negotiate (and give you scripts as well!)

How to Ask for a Raise (with step-by-step scripts!)

9/8/2025

1 Comment

 
GET A RAISE CONFIDENTLY
I’ve worked in Career Coaching and Human Resources for two decades. I know that employees think that raises come from their hard work. That they can wait for it to happen because their hard work and dedication will speak for itself.

​But it’s rare that raises come out of nowhere. Instead you need to make the case for one.
I lost you there didn’t I? You want to run away and hide now don’t you?!
Because you’re worried. They’ll think you’re being too pushy and greedy. And you have no idea on how you would even go about it.

Well, I’ve got you covered in this week’s YouTube video: How to Ask for a Raise (with step-by-step scripts!)
I even show you how to handle pushback if the answer is “not now.”

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/h8ir_7UHlKg

And if you’re gearing up to ask — you’ve got this. 💪
