Question! How would your former manager and coworkers describe you?"

It’s always a good idea to discuss this topic with your references in advance. You certainly want your response to align with their comments.

Here, you can address your work style and personality. If you are truly a great team player or possess strong leadership skills, it’s OK to say that, especially if the job requires it. If your coworkers would say you work well independently, and you feel that quality is applicable to the job, be ready to expound on it. #AWU #disability #job

How would you ask for a Raise

Asking for a raise can be a daunting task, but it's important to remember that you deserve to be compensated fairly for your work. Here are some appropriate steps to follow when asking for a raise:

Do your research: Before you even approach your manager, it's important to know your worth. Research salaries for similar positions in your industry and geographic area. You can use online resources like Glassdoor or Salary.com to get started.

Document your accomplishments: Put together a list of your accomplishments and contributions to the company. Be specific and quantifiable whenever possible. For example, instead of saying "I increased sales," say "I increased sales by 10% in the past year."

Choose the right time: Don't ask for a raise when your manager is busy or stressed. Instead, schedule a meeting during a time when they are more likely to be receptive to your request.

Be confident and professional: When you meet with your manager, be confident in your request and professional in your demeanor. Avoid using apologetic language or making threats.

Start the conversation with gratitude: Begin by expressing your appreciation for your current role and the opportunities you've been given. This will set a positive tone for the conversation.

Articulate your value: Explain why you believe you deserve a raise. Be specific about your accomplishments and contributions to the company. Use data whenever possible to support your claims.

State your desired salary: Be prepared to state a specific salary range that you are looking for. Do your research so that you have a realistic number in mind.

Be prepared to negotiate: Your manager may not be able to give you exactly what you want, so be prepared to negotiate. Be willing to compromise and find a solution that both of you are happy with.

Follow up: After the meeting, send your manager a thank-you note and reiterate your key points. This will help to reinforce your request and keep it fresh in their mind.

Be patient: It may take some time for your manager to make a decision about your raise. Be patient and don't give up. If they say no, ask for feedback on what you can do to improve your chances in the future. #AWU #disability #job
